Notes About The Poem

If only you knew

Quote: "If you only knew all the love that I found, it's hard to keep my soul on the ground".--Bradley Nowell

In the realm of reverie, where roses bloom, 
Whispers weave wonders in the wistful gloom. 
If only you knew, like a lark's sweet tune, 
Secrets soar silently 'neath the silver moon. 

In the labyrinth of longing, where shadows sway, 
Whispers of wishes waltz in the moon's soft ray. 
If only you knew, like petals in a ballet, 
Love's secrets linger in the night's display. 

In the tapestry of time, where dreams take flight, 
Echoes of eternity enchant the starry night. 
If only you knew, like a comet's fiery might, 
Love's celestial dance, an endless delight. 

In the symphony of sighs, where souls entwine, 
Whispers of yearning in the heart's design. 
If only you knew, like grapes on the vine, 
Love's nectar flows in the sweetest wine. 

In the garden of the heart, where secrets bloom, 
If only you knew, like a rose's perfume. 
In the dance of desire, where shadows loom, 
Love's whispers linger in the twilight's gloom.

Wow..... a beautiful poem portraying the intimacy of hearts in love. This highly alliterative piece is remarkable in its fluidity of passion and sweetness of rhyming. "In the labyrinth of longing, where shadows sway, Whispers of wishes waltz in the moon's soft ray." These lines are not only alliterative, but very poetic too

Very nicely done. It kind of resembled a kyrielle or quatern. The way the key line was repeated.
