Notes About The Poem

I looked up synonyms for the word LOVER in a thesaurus online. I took the first list and chose the words I was going to use in a Monty Python type of gag using multiple words to address a female friend using every word to address her. (All except the word honey which I added for no particular reason. Most likely not even a synonym ) Instead I was inspired to write this silly love poem. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it(barely if at all) Every word with a capital letter at the beginning was part of the list. Good Luck!

Capital Lover

Companion?
not yet

Girlfriend?
no 
(nondescript and tired)

Sweetheart?
the heart is deeper than that
it’s not coated in Honey
the word doesn’t do you justice 

Beloved?
ah to be loved
a misconstrued formation -yes
the creation of words is vital

Darling
hold me in your grasp
in the
Dearest
of all embraces 
a touch enlightens like a 
Flame red 

my
Inamorata  
my
Paramour 

you keep me
Steady 
you my 
Suppliant of pure intentions 

i
Swain in your presence 
you the 
Recipient of my eternal bliss
my one and only
Truelove 

you -my
Valentine

The beat of my heart stills as your golden tongue tempts to tease my senses. You weave a tapestry of touch such as a faded rose coming back to life. Beautiful and a fav Armand
