Love's Paradox collab with Italian Stallion

by Michael D Nalley   Feb 22, 2009


Selcouth love concealed,
garishly as can be.
Soon to be revealed,
with a hearts jubilee.

My soul exalted,
humbly a lover mourns.
Pain is not halted,
by a crown of thorns.

Garnished to perfection,
what a sight to see.
Shining with reflection
holding out the key

to the gates of paradise,
restoring to the Eve.
A new saving sacrifice,
free from sin we believe.

Explanations of zyzygy,
destiny or chance
it's all too dreamy
for everlasting romance.

Fiction and fact
it's not far apart,
in the abstract
of a poets heart.

    A brilliant poem with some really nice coscepts and messages behind it.

    The fact that it flows so brilliantly and works so well is a testament to two very talented writers working together excellently.

    I agree that the last stanza was particularly great, in a poem that to me was near perfection

    *grabs popcorn, stayed on a chair with my PC infront. And I enjoyed the show!*

    . . this really pictures mastery of flow and the words played their role well which resulted into seemingly perfection (though they say nothings perfect). Wonderful play and I love how you managed to vividly put up those words together with the concern of rhyme and rhythm.

    The end is my favorite part, it settles all stanzas together and of course, really impressive

    =5/5=^^Wonderful!
