Steeply Steeply

~

steeply steeply
true love hovers steeply
high overhead
the lover’s climb
it’s said

it’s rewarding frustration
full of emotion
at times exasperation
mostly devotion

the climb can have distraction
sometimes lack satisfaction
leave one hanging in air
yet committed to share
love’s ellusive heart

    1. ah if only the lovers were sincere in their steeped emotions – there would be no need to climb so far, love the melody of your words Rob.

    2. I like the use and repetition of “steeply”. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as they say. Perfect image to pair with your quadrille!

      1. Thank you Mish. Not sure which version you read. I have been editing it live. It was the image that inspired the final write. After deciding on the image, I realized I had unfortunately posted the poem prematurly. It is finally finished to my liking now. I appreciate your visiting and commenting… 🙂

      1. Glad you enjoyed this De. This poem from the beginning was going to be sbout lovers pursuing love, but the writing started out in one direction, to be free verse, then I came across the image, seen here, in my image library. Inspired, I began incorporsting rhyme until – voila!

      1. Thank you Sara! I refer to a love relationship as a climb because it is not always easy, you have to pay attention to your steps along the way, not missing the important ones nor making a misstep. And if you lose footing, you have to carefully regain it – or you fall. But if you are successful, you end up on top of the world.
