Loved & Lovedly

His Poems soar,
briefly brushing
an aching firmament,
he weeps of forever
in untold fields,
littered with poets
enthralled and touching
brushed wheat words

Epochs float
outside the lines,
sailing unsettled water
cascading currents,
sailing us off course
we are wrecked
more than than
making port

In minute moments
brilliance blossoms in ink,
vast galaxies of wisdom
fall from the heavens,
it is then we observe
the substance
of his soul

When found,
his voice extends
to sing at heavens gate
he is a poet in time
validated, checked
he's at his best

"Old" lovedly is certainly unique! He has made his mark amongst us, as assuredly as the sun comes up and goes down, on this world of poets. I cuss him out regular, and he comes back for more with a smile. He is truly one of a kind! This poem does him justice Jayne. I really love the first stanza, it is most apt, and I wanted you to know, that I think that it captures his essence.

Dearest Bro

He is certainly one of a kind over the years he has morphed and changed so many times, it is nice to see his efforts in poetry paying off.

I hope I captured a small part of him, as you said he is unique.

Hello, Jayne (and Lovedly),
"...it is then we observe the substance of his soul..." How very true. Hats off to you both!

Dear Lavender

I've known loved for a very long time now I am not sure what years he started at the site but at the beginning and even to some extent now, he's secretive. From what I know and have observed over the years I tried to put into words.

thanks so much for reading, not sure if you realised his first nickname on Neopoet was just Loved, hence the title!

hugs Jayne
