Notes About The Poem

Of One Sweet Kiss- Anacreontic Verse

OF ONE SWEET KISS
 ~~anacreontic verse~~

     As  yawning  sun
   shall end the day
     and stars at night
   flutter betray,
     my heart besets
   the velvet sight
     and wafting breeze-
   no solace brings.
     I wander slow
   walking on air,
     pictures within
   whisper confuse
     yet, love I dare
   feather breath warmth,
     lit the magic
   'til angels rose
     to pluck dire strings
   so bards may sing
     my lovers name.
   By candy flame
     of deep despair,
   seeking spirit
     moans in silence.
   Thirsty thoughts
     in depth of eve
   spell longing weep,
     my lone heart tears
   of waiting song,
     of one sweet kiss. . .

Aaahhhh, you make me sigh Olive. I agree with the comment you left on my poem, they seem to be mostly romantic. I think the form works well for that, almost like whispering sweet nothings into someones ear. Beautiful write.

This is an absolutely beautiful and sad lyric! The imagery is just perfect little snapshots. Emotionally, you strummed my heartstrings and caused me to think, so very long ago, when my husband died too young. This could be a Free Verse as well as a lyric in that the rhyme is not strict and one can rhym occasionally throughout a Free Verse. I think you could file it under either genre. Just love this Seven(7)
