ANTECEDENT LOVE

Memories of a love long embalmed
The shaded lores half untold 
The world deluded in omniscience 
Far from the magnificent core. 

Of love and kisses and lips reminiscent 
A yore of fortune that began 
The lovely tale of a union that spake 
Wreathing destiny in life's vivid wake. 

For love if love can ever be foretold
Lingers in the qualms of the sensing souls
Dreaming beauty surging inside
One look asunder, & love is realised. 

For what is, but is felt not in unison
Illuminates in the dooms of diverging visions
In throbbing heartbeats & pulsating skins  
The epiphany of love is felt. 

Antecedent love. Love unrealised.  
Lurking in spaces vibrant with life
Thriving in the gardens of bounteous grace
Where beauty finds its perfect face.
