On the Crest of Eternity

Love calls on the crest of eternity
A solitary sigh to its twin flame
A beacon of loves perpetuity

In the tears of lost opportunity
A warrior and hearts quest without name
Love calls on the crest of eternity

Seeking the other with hopes certainty
Blinded in its goal, naked of all shame
A beacon of loves perpetuity

Through lives and deaths of immortality
A need for the other to ease its pain
Love calls on the crest of eternity

Its claim for just this one gratuity
A humble need for its work on earth’s plane
A beacon of loves perpetuity

Although deaths call delay its destiny
It knows no rest for this tireless refrain
Love calls on the crest of eternity
A beacon of loves perpetuity

Dear Parker,
I liked your villanelle. Romantic in the extreme. So if I don't make it this time, I've got another chance? That's good.

I so enjoyed these words of yours Parker.
The rhythm and flow, the sentiment and style and more importantly the depth into which they reached me. Very nicely done.

Nicely done, Parker. You had it perfect up two the last two lines, which must be the first and third of the first, not vice-versa...but I applaud your effort. These little guys are not easy!

Nice to see you trying new types of poetry again. Great job here with this one. Of course I'm sure the ladies will never tire of your signiture Sonnets.

It is a blessing to have wings for words and passion in pen.

Dee, thank you sweet lass. Hopeful is a word strong in my mind these days.

dg sweet, maybe love has always been calling, we just need to be brave or foolish enough to listen...lol

Marina, yes I think I prefer sonnets.. this one got me all confused. Although not a hard task.
