Joanna Daniel Poet Free verse

Heart-To-Heart With My Heart-Throb

Darling, will you love me still if I weren't a poet? 
Will you hold my hand if I hypothetically happened 
                 to pause my pen from poesy? 
If I didn't use alluring alliterations to express my emotions? 
If my soul stayed silent with no more stimulating similes? 
Will you respect me if I refrain from rhyming ruminations? 

Will you really care for me if I didn't use 
                  imaginary imagism in our intimate interactions? 
Will you share my worries if I were to withhold myself from writing? 
Will you miss me manufacturing meticulous metaphors? 
Will you caress and comfort me
                 if I cease to construct colourful canticles? 

My handsome hero, will you accept me if I were a normal girl, 
And not your special sweetheart with spectacular songs? 
Will you tolerate my tantrums if my tongue terminated those tugging tunes? 
Will you hold and hug me if I were to halt my hand 
               from creating clever, catchy compositions? 
Will you value me verily if my verses vanish and vaporise? 

If my muse turned morose and mum, will you still stay by my side? 
If my moods metamorphosed into melancholic mysteries, 
               will you be mad at me or motivate me? 
Will you still find me mesmerizing if making melodies escape my memory? 
If I discontinued my ditties, will you discard me or defend me? 
Will you be fond of me if I freeze my fingers from fashioning your fanciful fantasies? 

Dearly beloved, will you still lavish me with love forever
if I were not a person to present my poetic preparations? 
If I were to discontinue my direct declarations, will you still delight in me? 
Oh! Will you appreciate me anyway if I abandoned my artistic abilities? 
Tell me, my dear and I will stop my stuttering soul and muttering mind... 
Will you prohibit my passion for poems...
                                         or accept me as I am?

Silent One September 13, 2023 at 1:16 PM So many questions and the most important one is at the end.. or accept me as I am? If you are not accepted for that then it is not love... Thanks for writing and congratulations on your placement.

Ink Empress September 4, 2023 at 9:41 PM Those alliterations and your choice of words truly are so stunning. And one of the many reasons why this poem stands out for me. I especially love “ pause my pen” and “ freeze my fingers” whoa! You are truly such a poetic soul, and i can see that from this poem. The way this flows and how you’ve written is beyond impeccable. Goodluck in the contest. I loved this one
