Dante Alighieri & I

Dante Alighieri & I

 
Where indeed
if not my love tangled
would I be?

standing upon
my very own inferno
in misery?

how could I forsake love
that is burning in flames?

should I put it in a jar
suffocating it with closure?
​​​​leaving the air frozen in an untimely death?

my ever aching wish to
spread my fire of passion
onto you
leaves my soul and my heart
in a world without sense  

there will never be a place
I could cherish more
in life or in death
than to be in your arms

therefore...
I could only be truly satisfied
in paradise or inferno
as long as I am with you.

It always amazes me that romantic love which should be a special joy is most often incredibly painful in its journey to whatever outcome. You have conveyed all this in your excellent work Shirley x

Hello Shirley and if it's not too late, Welcome to Cosmo!
A superb write throughout with the joy of tender sentiment tempered by love's longing.
A fragile gift that once fractured, loses its power to allow you to place any faith in its aspects.
A most beautiful write Shirley and this reader is a Dante admirer as well.
Thank you for making my evening with your most appealing and passionate poem :)
