Notes About The Poem

For Ink Empress' Language Of Love Poetry Contest

As always: Dedicated to Guy Loranger of French Quebec

I Memorized Your Metaphors

Mesmerized by your chrysanthemum smile,
I drifted in bliss inside the halo
of your gladioli gaze
and as I studied the grace
of that forget-me-not face,
I memorized your metaphors
and your many luscious similies,
like the lushness of your eyelashes
that frame your wide, ebony eyes
as if they were the wisps
of delicate cirrus clouds
adrift in a crystal sky.

And so it is 
your face will forever
be stenciled 
on the fabric of my mind, 
for you are my
ever-marvelous, magical muse.
A multitude of the hues of you
are exquisitely inked
indelibly
in my soul.
