PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

First, I have to warn you: First, I have to warn you that I may begin to sound like a raving, rhapsodizing fan, but I assure you I'm being sincere. I don't have the time or energy to express enthusiasm I don't deeply, honestly, feel or to give a lot of attention to poems that don't crack open my heart, so stay with me and believe me as I give you my impressions of this work:   This is the type of poem that is much larger us; it travels so far from this constrained little world that it is much like an out of body experience and I want to shout: so this is what ultimate reality looks like!   It is a true love poem.   You begin with a voyage to the soul by way of the eyes, and that soul, that essence, that spark of the Infinite Flame, is so colossal in its glory that our present technology could never capture its equivalent magnificence though it searches light years and light years of unfathomable vastness.     But the purest love doesn't stop at admiration, though you expressed this with enveloping, transporting splendor. The highest love demonstrates itself, proves itself, gives its whole self, and that's what the epicenter of your poem accomplishes . . . like a wisp of beauty with ferocious power.   No sacrifice is too great and no pain too crushing to keep faith and hope from living forever. That's love, and if I were handing out awards for a poem that best expressed true love, I would, hands down, say "Here, take this. You earned it." Guess we'll just have to leave that up to a much higher power.   Still savoring this. Congratulations!
