Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rubaiyat

Sotto Voce

Sotto voce a whisper sweet  
if by chance we should come to meet 
down in the valley where flowers bloom 
shall we enter a two way street? 

And if by chance this journey's fleet 
with passion's effloresce complete 
becomes our season's hope renew,      
then would we love this vigil treat?   

Inside that meadow of bright hues 
will you wrap around my curlicues
and climb the tendrils of my vine  
kiss me sweetly by heaven's  blues?

Will my colors be rich as wine 
when you hold me time after time 
like the daisies tallish and wild 
do you aim to always be mine  

Long after sun has hotly smiled 
Long after stars ablaze are riled 
will you whisper to my petals, 
sotto voce and undefiled .

Joseph P. DiMino June 5, 2022 at 8:25 PM "Inside that meadow of bright hues will you wrap around my curlicues and climb the tendrils of my vine kiss me sweetly by heaven's blues?" Delightful! Beautiful! There is a reason why many of the great romantic operas are in Italian, the words themselves making ones lips pucker and thirst for companionship. Brava! Sotto voce.... A fav! Mystic Rose Rose June 6, 2022 at 6:14 PM I so love romance and all its charms, can you tell ?
