Forever Sonnets (Poetry Blog)

When first time your image in my heart I drew, . . . 'Twas with new hopes our paths would intertwine, . . . In dreams, where'er your steps may go I knew, . . . My heart would follow, bound by the divine. . . . Love, as your eyelids lift, my soul lies in your gaze, . . . Your light shall guide me on my journey's way, . . . With candles lit, to brighten nights and days, . . . My shadow's there, by you it shall ever stay. . . . Since that sweet moment you took your place, . . . Within my bosom's cherished, sacred space, . . . It seems the universe is in our trace, . . . Ah, a festival of joy within, upon face. . . . Thanks to that day when love did first impart, . . . Your image settled ever in my heart. . . . ---- Affaq

Oh, chum I do recall that long forgotten time, When we would rest beneath the maple's shade, In the vesper evenings, tranquil and sublime, Where mountain breezes thru  brooks did wade. The cooling mountains sent their zephyrs down, While valleys warmed beneath the gentle air, A tussle between the breezes, dusk’s soft crown, Till midnight's stillness hung the sky most fair. From sweet slumber, you woke me with a call, "John, hark the nymphs who sing by fountain's side," Their heartfelt love chorus, in rhythms I did fall, With a piece of music  that held us 'till first light. In summer's eve, unfogged by time's own hand, Beneathl lo maple's shade, we dreamt unmanned. ------Poet Affaq 

If you say yes, I'll sing through all my days, And play the violin to serenade your ears. If you say yes, my life will blaze with rays, And light the night with candles, void of fears. This eve I'll tell each secret of my open heart, And in these flowers, only you shall bloom. Your fictions lie within, like a work of art, Give me your love, dispel this doom and gloom. Bestow on me a haven in your ardent breast, As gentle breezes awaken me from sleep. To you alone, my soul's desires confessed, In dreams of love, our vows I strive to keep. So say you yes, and I'll sing life's sweet tune, To honor love beneath the silvery moon. Poet Affaq  

#війна_і_діти By Zoe Mishchuk The sun is bloody burning now... Third year tears are falling down a river. Desperation ... How much more can we endure?. How much more blood does Satan need?. Screaming over the heaps is heartbreaking, on the clouds of white angels... With smoke despair over the burn swims, lost a child to a mother. Where are y0u Lord ? Do you see this horror movie? What was the fault of the little children? In the eyes of suffering and fear. These tests of fate are unbearable... Lord of mercy I ask, Get this war out of the country! Let peace reign in the souls, every child will be happy!  🌹💐🌹💐🌹
