My Love Poetry (Revised)

~ David Achodo ~ Leave a comment
My Love Poetry is the premier collection of my five poems on the power of love as a metaphysical quest. Dominant themes of affection, heroism, destiny, spirituality, and timelessness are stylistically woven through tension and revelation. The imagery of time, covenant, prophecy, and light maintains the assurance of destiny’s verdict in the search for love. The first poem, “A Quest in my Quest,” reveals the poet’s patience, anticipation, and endurance through time as he waits for the bride of his dreams. The second poem, “Invade My World,” is an invitation to a transcendent future wife. This piece blends sacred longing with romantic quest. The third poem, “Come In,” is an ode to the sovereign personality of love, weaving emotion with sacred heroism. The fourth poem, “To My Fatherly Mother,” is a birthday tribute to the most powerful feminine figure, whom the poem describes as powerful as a man, differing only in the womb she possesses. This collection ends with a return to the original motif of the poet’s thirst for true, sacred love and a destiny fulfilled, as the final poem, “Have My Quest,” demonstrates. Overall, My Love Poetry articulates an appealing love dialogue between a masculine self and a feminine self, and then between humanity and Self, which is truth.

I arise–
to control what controls!
I will rise an ancient beyond names,
Eternity gathered in one breath–
to shelter the last light.

Ere the wound of life opened,
Life was seven–and
Eden one.

The Sovereign
On Your Davidic Throne high,
In You is hidden the Hidden
Mystery of mystery,
The history of mystery,
The mystery of history,
And the
History of histories.
