I can’t translate you into a poem
Your radiance is dulled in words

Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.
Stories that began in the heart of the South African lowveld.

"To be loved and love at the highest count, means to lose all the things I can't live without. Let it be known that I will choose to lose, it's a sacrifice, but I can't live a lie" -Adele-

That has go into Valentine’s Day hallmark cards. It is so romantic!!!
Thanks 🙂 I wouldn’t mind to see it in one of those.
I can so see it
Oh man, I 100% agree with Cassa 👆👏
Thanks. Deeply appreciate you! And your steady feedback and support!
Only great love can inspire such words and images.
Words cannot describe the feeling when reading your words.
Thank you
Joanna
I have a lot of love in my heart, Joanna. I think we all do. Plus, we have a lot of share in it, as well. Stay safe!
So so beautiful, Benjamin!!! I absolutely love it! It’s short but so deeply profound and heartfelt! Amazingly done as always, much love 🖤🖤
Thanks so much. Your comments are touching. Thanks for reading. Sending you all good things back!
Agreed…Valentine’s Day card for sure!!! Simple and so powerful. 🌷
A whole lotta thanks!
Love this 👍🖤🖤
Wonderful to hear that! Thanks!
You’re most welcome 🖤
Beautiful poem 👌
Maybe you get inspiration to write from her if you can’t translate.
Thanks! That’s definitely where some of it comes from.
This is so good! Sometimes we can’t articulate the feelings we have for others into words. It’s easier to let the emotion reside in the heart ❤
Thanks. Wow! I like how you said that. Wonderful thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! Your partner is very fortunate. 🌸
Thank you 🙂
Some things are best experienced in their original form. Translating takes away its beauty. This is an intense and absolute piece of beauty Ben!!
It does, for sure. That’s why I wish sometimes I could speak every language. It would be wonderful to read everything as it was intended. Thanks!
Another swoony gem for the two-line poetry prize… sigh. :))
I remember a book by this title from university days. Eva Hoffman…
Thanks big time. And sure … and also that movie of the same name.
Concise and heartfelt.
Humongous THANKS!!!

Thanks, Jay!
Romantic! Funny how words do that, isn’t it? Limit the limitless (whilst trying not to) 🙂
Thanks. And, yes, it’s funny because we try to use words to explain better but it almost does the opposite in a way. I like how you put it: “Limit the limitless (whilst trying not to)”. It’s very thoughtful.
You are most welcome ☀️
Wow, very touching! I admire your ability to communicate so much love in so few words, Benjamin! 🌞
There is a bit of this compelling effect to the minimalist approach. I’m glad you thought this piece worked 🙂 Thanks for the support and sharing your thoughts!
Wow!
🙂 Thanks, Sirishty!
You’re welcome 😊
Very well done… as usual, immediately strikes. You have such a knack for condensing beauty in a line or two. It inspires. :))
Many thanks, Sundaram! 🙂
Word👌🏽
Thanks! I got to read some more of your work soon!
A pleasure as always.🙏🏽
Another sweet one! Your twists are always on point! 👏
Big time thanks!
Brilliant, spectacular verse. You sparkle and so does your muse.
Thanks greatly!!!🌟
Welcome muchly 😇
To which lucky person did you dedicate this wonderful poem to? I’m so jealous!
A really beautiful person who shines like a million suns, belongs with the stars, reminds me of heaven … I could go and on, but I should stop here. Perhaps you’ll have poetry dedicated to you in the future. Or maybe you already do, and you just don’t know about it, because the person is too shy to share with you. Thanks for leaving your thoughts. It means a lot!
According to me, many poets have a person who for them “shines like a million suns, belongs with the stars, reminds them of heaven”. Even I have such people. I would love to have a poem dedicated to me. My birthday is coming soon, and one of my friends might write a poem on me. I’ve dedicated so many of my poems to them.
I know very well how touching it is when someone leaves their thoughts!
You’re so right. That’s part of the reason we have so many poems and songs and stories about love. It makes so many feel a certain way about someone. Happy Early Birthday! Hopefully it’s a wonderful one! Thanks for all your thoughts!
Thank you so much! You are very kind!
Beautiful…
Thanks a great amount!
