Enigma...My Love is a Fever

The darkness of you…


mysterious
As rainfall at night

Secretive
As a dark moon

Recondite

A raven
At twilight

Petals of darkness

Fall
one
by
one

And evening
Tarnishes
Your features

Eyes,
Mouth and hair
Obscured

Adumbrated
With gloom

Words
Opaque
And risque

Brushed
With luster
Of the moon

Lakes and bays
Of solitude

Surround
And remind me

You are darker
Than my moods

I've begun to learn
My heart
Was right—

You're black as hell,
And dark as night.

We want to tell them how much we truly love them, yet often we cannot find the right words. Fortunately, poets and lovers have been trying for centuries to find the perfect words to express the feeling of love. This is awesome. You are very good

Poetry like poetry is supposed to be: intriguing and fascinating.

With each "pedal of darkness"
that falls
is attached a dream
of what could be

Why we are tempted
by darkness
and hearts of coal

We must taste them
to distinguish reality
from nightmares

Ever so often to
taste life
rather than
to

watch it
from afar


More brilliance and inspiration from the master @johnjgeddes. Thank you fine Sir, once again.

Haunting and beautiful. Its excellent!

Thank you for sharing!

Hi @johnjgeddes,

The way you used metaphors in your poem is really appreciable thing. How beautiful wording you chose

You are darker
Than my moods

I've begun to learn
My heart
Was right—

You're black as hell,
And dark as night.

This reminds me a couplet of great URDU poet JAUN ELIA (Translated version)

~ Hence proved peace is rare in universe..
If someone finds it in relationship, then he is not deceived by them yet!
