If, my love

by Mark   Mar 18, 2018


If I warbled alike a dove
and fluted - tunes of love
the wailing winds would carry
tiny hearts - red draped sherry
to kiss upon your lips in spree,
sparkling those blue globes - to see;
duetting, beam notes - are we.

If my pupils - diluted inky dye
calligraphy, would form and dry;
a cursive splendour of your name
in a rosy painted outer frame,
that then - all peering eyes
would whisper - that fluent guise
even seraphs, in abodes of skies.

If mystics - sewed quilt patches
attaching nets of woolly latches,
to catch each kissed recited rhyme;
embedded by lips of mine,
for you to lay on quilt and dream
as my poetic notions gleam
and waltz you in the scheme.

If I could hear my smallest cells
all would resound - like church bells
strung upon a genetic maze,
made to adore - your curvy graze,
chiming my emotive glee
echoing fourths to three
your own beat - from my inner me.

    Judging comments:
    This poem is such a beautiful expression of love, and written in a classic language of the ‘romantics’ which only adds to its impact. Mark takes us on a journey of the senses with how he conveys his love from his ‘inner’ self to his loved one – using metaphorical doves, flutes, hearts, calligraphy and even quilt patches (my fave bit). It’s a feast for the eyes, heart and mind and the aabbccc rhyme scheme makes each septet feel like a poem by itself. My favourite poem this week. :-) x
