"Eternity Entwined" (poem) ... Happy Valentine's Day

in #poetry6 years ago


Another Valentine's Day is upon us and millions of people will go into stores across the county to buy flowers, chocolates and bottles of wine. These are the rituals of romance.

These rituals are important as they seek to re-imbue a romantic relationship with a kind of magic that is often difficult to sustain throughout the year. But as cherished as these rituals are, they are nothing in the absence of words. And yet, they are often the things most over-looked. Some words don't mean much, others quite a lot. You'll know you've found the right ones, when you find them hard to say. 

If it costs you nothing to say it, it will them nothing to hear it.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I really liked this. Nowadays, a lot of people to tend to give up quickly, and thus never find a meaningful love. When you fight for something that you risk to lose, that's when it becomes special; it becomes something you are not willing to lose.

@poetrybyjeremy,

Hey Jeremy. It's the difference between young love and the reality. Like everything else in life, you have to be willing to fight for it.

By the way, I see you're taking over Discord ... and every poetry contest and challenge on Steemit. Good for you.

If I was getting more than 4 hours sleep per night, I'd throw down. You'd better hope I never learn to live on 3! :)

I wouldn't necessarily attribute to young love. As in, sure, young love is like that. However, a lot of people keep that attitude towards love and never grow up and accept reality, not realising that there is an actual difference.

I'd say I'm too active on Discord; I need to pace myself. However, I did get a great jump-start, especially with a lot of SBD/Steem from contests. I already have 32 Steem Power on my own just in 3 weeks! Now that my second semester has started, priorities have to shift more.

32 SBD/Steem from contests ... bastard!

majority. Some are earned through posts.

I think I've placed in 5 contests haha

@poetrybyjeremy,

It must be the Crusader in you!

Good to see you around.

Always nice to see you around as well!

A loverly romantic write, quillfire. I enjoyed:)

Very nice, my friend. I saw where you are having bandwidth issues. If you plan on sticking around,I would be willing to send you 50 SP delegation till you get up and running. So far when I have done that,you shouldn’t have any more bandwidth problems. Let me know if you think you will stick around. That will then remind me in the morning.

As for me I have never spent more time in the throne room lol tmi I know

@old-guy-photos,

Incidentally, you should make a video post reciting this poem to you know who. Indeed, I dare you. The two of you ... it's like watching kids in high school. Remember what I said about what happens when you rhyme "chopstick with lipstick?"

You'll notice I was discreet enough not to include "at you know who's username."

To be honest, we are 100% just friends lol

@old-guy-photos,

Fair enough.

Did you get a chance to glance at my @cryptogee post? I think it's pretty good. Happy Valentine's Day to you and your family.

BTW: That delegation ... it worked miracles. Thanks again.

@old-guy-photos,

"If you plan on sticking around..."

Are you insane? You couldn't get me out of here with a gun! You tell the whales I'm coming for them.

And Paul, yeah, 50 SP delegation ... that would be a godsend (I'll take your word for it that that will solve the bandwidth problems). Someday, I'm going to propose an Award for the Best Mentor on Steemit (maybe a Contest) and ... I'm going to bloody well make sure you win it!

When I'm talking to my daughter about Steemit, I tell her that there are a class of guys that I call The Fixers. They help fix it when it's broken and they help fix you up with other people. (I'll probably write a post about this.)

@dan and @ned ... are you guys listening? The Fixers are the ones making you rich.

Incidentally, I don't know what to do to receive 50 SP delegation. Do I have to do anything?

I've got a great post coming out in a few hours in response to one of @cryptogee's. I love riffing with him about AI. So, figure out your voting strategy ... he's got lots of Followers! :)

(As you've undoubtedly noticed ... I've learned how to format comments! Learning.)

Dear @quilfire, Isn't the old man @old-guy-photos the absolute best? No two ways about it. He knows better than to read poetry to me, I write poetry to him. Alas, he gets to read it before I post it, nothing personal.

I will tell you without a doubt, that we are only friends. I say only because that is the best way to keep a working relationship going and we intend on (maybe) doing more videos. Never mess in your own nest. Very untidy should things come apart.

Now, might I say that he is one of the nicest, kindest, sweetest men on earth and I honestly can't help giggling like a high schooler. Just watch his facial expressions. I am surprised you and the whole world think we have something going on. Somebody forgot to send me the cliff notes on that to study.

At any rate, I got a smile put on my face at your comment and might I say, what a lovely valentine that you put to paper.

100% Friends? Probably. Maybe. Sincerely. Honestly. Without a doubt! Tip!

@dswigle,

Alas, you are correct about separating business from pleasure.

Still, I hope you'll forgive me (and the whole world) ... Steemit is still overly-represented by males and a bit of guy-guy teasing/trash-talking ... that's how we bond. We're all very aware about how stupid the whole thing is ... nevertheless ... it creates a pretext for conversation, which is something, perhaps sadly, that we seem to require. Look at the ridiculous lengths to which we'll go to rap about ... "salad dressing."

I'm sufficiently chastised. I will behave.

And thanks for the compliment about the poem.

@dswigle,

Thank you, Madam.

To further ensure your good graces, I dedicated today's poem/article to you. I hope you are inspired.

Exactly, guy talk!

Awww LOL thanks Sunshine.

:) My pleasure old man!
