Words of Love

You say the words of love not often pass
my lips but all the words I would amass
over my life can't possibly convey
your beauty. As before the love holds sway
over the words of tongue and pen. I try
to find a flawless language whereby
I could speak diamonds, moons, expanses, times
about your loveliness, to pick up rhymes
with your saliva's mead, to get a font
out from the depth of hell by which I want
so badly to write down those few
words of my love I'll never say to you.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 6/26/2019 7:52:00 AM There is an irony that one who is so proficient with words is unable to utter the words that are most important. This is an excellent first offering to the soup. Login to Reply Kurt Ravidas Date: 6/27/2019 5:34:00 PM Thank you, Richard. Hoping, the soup will be nice to me)

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 4/28/2019 1:54:00 AM The heart is such an emotionally fragile thing that it breaks like glass or it can endure many storms with a strength it thought unimaginable. This is written beautifully Kurt. Congratulations on your win. xxoo Login to Reply Kurt Ravidas Date: 4/28/2019 12:55:00 PM I think, "win" may be too strong of a word in such situation) Thank you very much, Connie. I like you liked it)
