'how would i know love'

By AngelEyes323

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How would I know love? Would it be whispered in a bated breath Words rendering my heart's desire Would it be an unfathomable beauty Unconquered destinations, within my grasp Would the stars descend from heaven Surging out of endless space Would cherubs take wings of flight A thousand words echoing sweet rapture Would my lips be pursed with sultry utterance Articulately orchestrated without chasm Would it sound like the nightingale Impaling itself in superlative song Would the whole world still to listen In a stifled splendour Would magenta winds gust Cutting across the veins of the mesas and arroyos Would symphonies circle through rhythmic spheres Melodious prelude ascending with the aurora Would the warm, crimson sun Draw the spring into my heart Would a shaded monochrome paint Not only the flowers, but the shadow of roses Would love survive death into eternity Enclosed in a sanctuary of elysium The answers became clear as your soul touched mine Written February 20th, 2002 © on Feb 19 2002 05:07 PM PST, Kathy D    0 • 18 • 8
