Forever Sonnets (Poetry Blog)

My fortune led me to vales of sweet perfume, I gazed; each atom bathed in dews of joy. And feathered birdsong dispelled all gloom; Their dulcet anthems did sweet peace convey. Ah, could such pure felicity compare? Then bore my star to realms of revelry, Where unseen sights captivated my eye; Still transient proved this light, a phantasy. To gilded hoards, then, swiftly was I drawn; Some ease, some luxury, my soul embraced; And to the zenith of success, at the dawn, I rose, my worldly triumphs proudly traced. But look, can these fleeting glories ever vie With joy I found in mother's arms? O, never! ----Poet Affaq  #ForeverSonnets 

When earthly rewards, like the rivers, overflow, And worldly wisdom does the mind engage, The parent's pride, a vibrant, eager show, To fill young minds on life's material stage. This earthly insight, shimmery, sharp and bright Does lift us high, to touch the distant star, Or plumb the ocean's dark and secret light, Not man can fault this quest, however far. Well yet, by its side, a nobler path does lie, The spiritual empire, often scorned, unseen, By which the soul to infinite heights may fly, And master stars, and empires of joy convene. Oh well, though doors of endless grace await, We bow to dust, and serve a whimsical state. ------ Poet Affaq #ForeverSonnets #MysticalPoetry

The yellow mustard, clad in a gilded hue, From every clime, feathered singers fly, Do moan with joy, spring's bonnie birth renew, As gentle winds on stream-sides softly sigh. With ruddy fruits, the burdened branches bend, My heart beats briefly, new-born blossoms gleam, Through these fair scenes, naked beauties blend, I do yearn for you, as waking from a dream. O, will you come this day, ere life does flee? My soul ascends, now trembling on my lip, For what avail, shouldst you then come to see These flowery groves, when death my spirit strip? Your phantom faint, in gilded fields I mark, Oh, come with favor, and kindle my fading spark. ---- Poet Affaq #MustardBloom #Foreversonnets
