She is beauty personified, goddess of unending love;
Her lips speaks of desire and of undying love.
She winks to the sunny sky and breathes the morning air,
Walks amidst the splendor of a purifying love.
But mortals have shaped, altered, and clouded,
Of what she once deemed as gratifying love.
They cradled what’s tantamount to treachery and deceit,
Dimmed the lights to the road of a terrifying love.
Some old souls, however, continued to believe,
In the true charm of Aphrodite- a mystifying love.

Another out of town that called for an absence in the blogosphere. This is me catching up to NaPoWriMo. Here’s for Day 15. XD
Day 15: Because today marks the halfway point in our 30-day sprint, today I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that incorporates the idea of doubles.

a whimsical, mystical, ghazal Maria! Love these:
“She winks to the sunny sky and breathes the morning air,
Walks amidst the splendor of a purifying love.

Awesome poem. The picture compliments your words well. Interesting how there is love the way Aphrodite meant it to be and people who have in a sense poisoned it with their treachery. But lucky for those few who still look for the way she means love to be. Well written.

I have to thank you for introducing Ghazal poem. 🙂 Thanks, Mandi. Yes, some people today has blurred the true essence of love with treachery, lust, and greed. That is why I love seeing old people still inlove, they remind me of the beauty of what love really is. ❤

Ghazals are pretty cool. The girl from Swritings sent me songs in her culture which were all ghazals. www. Shadow poetry.com is awesome for poetry types and forms as well as this site: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/glossary-terms?category=forms-and-types. John Donne speaks greatly of what you say in A Valediction Forbidding Mourning. He is dying but says in essence, the love him and his wife share will go into as “dull-sublunerary lovers” who are only tied to physical love but their live is like “gold to airy thinness beat” it expands. It’s a great poem if you have time to look it up. Yes old people in love is great 🙂
