Eternal Bliss Poem by Ella Goodman

Pleasant presence she could smell from afar
When soft breeze purred caressing the scars
It was a scent so very known
Fond remembrance of days strewn in gold
So infinitesimally close two souls stood long
On a moonless night while stars smiled along
A perfect bliss it was thus;
The clear sky shone brilliant blue
No spot or scar to dim her hue.
Like a single sparkling diamond hanging from sky
The evening star stood in all smiles.
Beauteous moment, paradise's bliss
When heavens conspired to conjure their spirits.
Eternal hours of fancied luck
Of deep embrace and unbiased love,

It was though a strange mockery
Tryst of luck, cruel seeds sown by destiny
An instances delight of life and love,
Of fresh scent of paramour's soft touch,
To wane like camphor in open air.
Defiance, derision to hence be her luck
Starless sky and hapless hours
Devoid of scent so priced and treasured.
Thus he turned his gaze away
Strolling far across the bay
There stood he behind the mount
Height too great to shield her sighs.

Though tears rolled from dark deep eyes
And heart bled red all the while
Hope and faith kept her revived.
No complaint the lips did spell
Unfading love could much sustain.
Harsh days of long unending pain
Panting for fresh winds to swell
Across the bay a good long way
Bringing forth her beloved's scent.
The heart's longing, her pleading eyes
Her faith in the Divine,
Did at last surmount the High
To let the breeze reach her sweetest's thew
Her flesh could feel the sweet touch of love
The smile long lost found way to smirk
It was a day of triumphed joy
When thousand words spoke the silent eye
It was a feel of mixed blessing
A moment of serene eternal bliss.
