take my hand and lead me
to that far away place
where infinity meets oblivion.
hold me close and tell me
that we’ll last an eternity,
else wipe the annals of history
clear of our pretense.
Give me that one massive explosion
that ends with truth's kiss,
then leave me to wonder
if we’ll live forever in the ether,
or go down with the stars.

Dazzling! Tender intimacy while reaching for epic proportions
This has ethereal vibes and is lovely to read and imagine. I can feel the longing and love and pleading for it to never end.
Heartfelt & gorgeous!
This amazing! The thought of infinity meeting oblivion is going to give me something to think about for awhile. Loved this!
This has such an epic, dreamy vibe—like you’re floating through space with a touch of poetic flair! Love the mix of deep musings and cosmic romance. It's like “Will we fade or shine forever?”—either way, it's a beautiful ride.😊
Wow. Agree with Kelli! 💕
Yup, another amazing poem, journey and expression. I am honored to have, for a moment, been in your wave-length (sharing titles, anyway)
Absolutely gorgeous work Cathy. "Infinity meets oblivion" beautiful line. 🩵

I mean, that's quite a lot to ask...
Man, this has some power.
Wow my friend, now I can’t make up my mind whether I want forever in the ether or if I want to go down with the stars.
Shivers. This was stunning - and what a last line.
Holy … this poem os one that stays with you Those first three lines set up a beautiful pace for the rest. Every line kept getting better with that final line that seals it
