A Love Poem to the Intangible
Write a love poem to something intangible.

amaah in Poetry & Free Verse

Will I ever stop hearing the Melody of My Love?

Bad thoughts in my mind plague me with a song...

A continual melody

Perfect in sound and mind.

If only I could find the source of

such allure; it possesses the entire body.

I can't escape its aweful magnificence;

A toxic obsession I've bonded myself to.

Vigorous love burning in my heart like fire.

Furious passions guised in a tune.

Would I fight my own breath?

A conscious choice yet a gift bestowed during sleep?

In the mornings, it hovers like a cloud:

airy, soothing overwhelming, suffocating.

Yet in the night it's a voracious ocean:

cool, rejoicing, encircling, commanding.

Beguiling darkness in a light chirp or a low roar,

But ethereal beauty, perfect in sound and mind.

Amaah
