Line Gauthier Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Love Letters

linger not by the lagoon
where languid legends lie
lost within the labyrinths
of lonely hearts

long laments whispered
atop lofty ladders in lieu
of loyalties mistaken
for lust in moonlight

let us listen you and i
to lazy lush perfumes
borne of lavish lavender
while languishing in longing

let us scribble our letters 
both with leaf and quill
laden with levity and love
without one word of a lie

let us unleash the leagues
of lethargic dreamers so we may
levitate leisurely in the largess
of the language of love
