POETRY CHALLENGE UNDER THE MOON #2

An ineffable emotion that surpasses the test of time and stands out like a rock.

A silver lining to the dark corners of my life

on every damned day of my cerebral aura

when the unruly winds blow away my sanity

or the wild waves wish to throw me around

you anchor me with soul-warming affection

a cradle weaved with trust and togetherness

will rock-a-bye till the end of time

still, it happens on some overcast days

love feels like walking on a rope

articulately, on the tricky road

when love ties us too strong

the breathers of understanding

are like a relaxing Sunday brunch,

I gorge on the flavours of this

honey-kissed, spread of time tested amore

a dash of hugs added to it

while a hint of kisses caramelised

a perfect recipe for sweet love

my definition of life!

This is my perception of love and describing it under this prompt challenge by Write Under the Moon was a useful opportunity as I never paused and thought about it this much. This is just a mini rendition of what love is like after a lifetime spent together.
