The Poetryzine magazine presents the selected poems from the poetry book EDWARD&FLEUR: Sam's Poems (New Zealand , 2020) by the New Zealand poet Sam Eastwood
Love in the Soul
The light of heaven sweeps away the veil
upon the soundless sea without a shore
Behold the woman of eternal beauty
Her essential nature reveals her splendor
The experience of creativity reflected in a mirror
The perfect vision of God
Wherein grace never ceases to be displayed
O for a friend whose soul I long
In union to mingle in divine love
This secret song which plays in our hearts
The flame which fires, the wine of love inspires
How lovers bleed eternal the longing of reunion
Yearning for deliverance to live in eternity and
in this world where love is a stranger, an exile
The divine essence of the elect consumes infidelity
Burning the devils impaled on love
Absorption of the creator a spiritual energy
Dispels our memory’s dull and sad
The echoes of the unearthly strains
Inspired by god to tell the story of infinite love
Souls emptied of self in spacious gardens of
paradise
Fly up hither to rejoin Angels and Seraphim
Anthems of the heavenly host
Now hear the voice within your heart
You’ve found the source of Love.
What was
Then there was nothing
everything remembered
thoughts which honour you
our love deep in my soul
When did I decide I can’t recall
you felt free and broke my heart
Miss-placed anger in my fall
with little grace not my intent.
You admitted what can be
without assurance, repeated
Thoughts never deliberate,
the oddness of your will
I realize the truth, with difficulty
I’ll always be in love with you
my love will always remain
No longer in togetherness
Blazing in interconnectedness
Inspired by Art Garfunkel
I’d rather be a song
than a instrument unplayed
I’d rather be a melody
than a note never herd
I’d rather be a story
than a lost soul
I’d rather be alone
than a painful memory
I’d rather be a word
than a sword
I’d rather be a kiss
And always love
From Love
Love will endure for eternity
which cannot be denied nor got rid of
We don’t choose who we love
Or who loves us back
Love is within us
And in everything
Whether we like it or not
Time a stubbornly persistent elusion
Why do we battle this wisdom?
When we already know the truth
Accepting
the beauty of love our life unfolds
with wisdom and understanding
Love is the ‘Why’
Love is our triumph
Love each moment
Love every breath
All your life.
