An Invitation Poem by Valsa George

An Invitation

Rating: 4.9


Come on my Love! Let us move to the East
Where the sun resurrects after his interim death
Where darkness first gives way to light
And life renews itself every morn

Look to the East beyond those crooked hills
Where poplars grow tall in line
And wild weeds hem the edges of pathways
Where bunnies and squirrels hop and jump
And merrily run round the trees
Where the wind moves whistling through bamboo reeds
Where the laughing cataract leaps down from the rocks
And flow along in silvery rills
Where the languorous breeze plays upon the leaves

Away from the tumult, far from the crazy crowd
With the pandemonium of the world
Hushed to serene silence
Let us move to that sequestered glade
Of perennial greenery, through the sunlit grove
Where we shall walk hands locked
Till the bright day gives way to starlit night

Inhaling night air in scented perfume,
Listening to the sweet whisperings of our soul,
Let us ‘drink life to the lees' from the chalice of love.
Oh! Come on, we shall not tarry…. Let's go!

Let us ‘drink life to the lees' from the chalice of love, love is the best refiner it can rectify the tarries.

Enjoyed this thoroughly. You weave magic with words when it comes to describing nature and, of course, love and longing.

Wow! Wow! Wow! In my perception, this is a masterpiece that deserves wide recognition. It should be among the top poems on PH. One of the best love poems I have red, a new favourite. Thanks Valsa for this germ that showed me a picture of Adam and Eve mingling in the graden of Eden free from life's worries and distraction before the great tragedy occurred.
