In Angel Grove Where Love Abides

Angel Grove, where dreams unfold,
lovers trysts and heartfelt gifts of tenderness,
endow this secret garden hold,
and roses bloom in sacred perfection,
never wilt or fragrance wane,
it always the same in Angel Grove,
as if time withheld its breath,
and world stopped spinning
just to honor the stars, the depth
of infinite love and cosmos.
Here, hearts are one,
touch the reassurance of love’s summation,
its out of worldly affirmation of right,
when life is all and troubles fall from sight,
just to be in the arms of a lover’s embrace,
to trace names upon delicate skin,
lips so full to iterate the souls fulfilled,
the hearts lost to one another,
melding one to the other,
in perfect state.
In Angel Grove, angels do appear,
to reside over love’s dear heart,
when souls are bound in life and after,
infinite rhymes and joyous laughter,
resound in nooks of greenery,
blossoms plush in colored finery
the walls of loves keeping,
under starlight and moons luminous light,
words are spoken and commitment heard
to honor light and life.

So very beautiful, Tony. I believe we all have an Angel Grove within us – to have someone to share it is a blessed gift indeed. Lovely piece, soft and peaceful.
Thanks Phyllis, glad you enjoyed my little romantic ditty. Cheers!
Angel Grove is a place where all lovers wish to be, maybe we find it in another sphere, but not here on earth. Superficial love abounds in our world. Lust, greed, lies, mistrust, bitter tongues, cheaters, haters, players abound and vows broken to take lovers from once being one to broken toys. Yes indeed my friend to find a place such as Angel Grove would be heaven, but its there such a place, we will all find out when we leave our empty scarred shell behind and continue on our journey. Beautifully expressed as always and penned by a master. Cheers.
Thanks you for your kindness Vincent. I guess Angel Grove is an ideal of which is rarely expressed these days. Romantic love seems to come with many hooks and surprises. The love I cultivate now is far broader and universal as we may remove our egos and leave our desires behind. The experience of deep romantic love is perfection if only momentary, and we still yearn for its purity and bliss. Take care my friend.
Truly lovely piece my friend. I wish I could steal the passion from a place like this for the rest of my life, I know such passionate love is fleeting in the bigger picture but it would be nice. Well done my friend, well done.
Much appreciated Paul, yes, love does get blurred in the real world and circumstances change like the weather. Yet we seek the ideal, those moments of bliss as they can be defining. Cheers!
Left me with a poignant smile on my face wishing I had a ticket for Angel Grove.
Glad you enjoyed it Rasma, its a place we’d all love to be within. Cheers!
