tell me
how the gentle wind touches your skin
how the gold of sun rays pierce your eyes
when you hear and watch the fish gently slap
the water around the river's bend
the water around the river's bend
ahh, and there's the waft of morning dew
tell me
how your heart flutters when feeling love;
your breath becomes rapid in excitement,
soft bead sweat shimmies from your hands,
how peace and calm envelops you
at the sight of stars and moon at night
tell me
the soothing of violin strings upon your ears
whilst reading words of Shelley and Shakespeare
and how they resonate into your soul
and how they resonate into your soul
or as i sing to you a song formed
of love verses, i've written
tell me
that your love for me is true
the reflection of my heart, too
like new verdant leaves of Spring
with their brilliance in their color hue
my heart speaks~~~ there’s no truer love
than me for you
Your love poems to Roberta are always so lovely, Marco. Sigh. I'll bet she Smiled!
ReplyDeleteSo , lovely poetry, I closedy ears at the ast stanza, the answers...suspense yet.
ReplyDeleteI do love the "tell me" repeated... and though it might sound like a plea, I cannot see how words like this cannot be responded in a positive way
ReplyDeleteAwww.
ReplyDeleteI too lobe the repetition of 'tell me' - it creates a second rhythm to the piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful! Quite an appealing love poem.
ReplyDeleteJane.
Beautiful lyrical and a lovely flow. A touch of Gerard Manly Hopkins about it. Excellent work.
ReplyDeletetell me
ReplyDeletethat your love for me is true
the reflection of my heart, too...
Such fine words, Marco.. one must sigh to read them.
Oh the passion in this -- such lush images and beauty in both words & rhythm. Peaceful, romantic and artistic -- this puts me in the mood to write, to read the poetry of the romantics, to play Chopin and have a glass of wine in the sunlight...Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteyou romantic, you ~
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful...I feel the romantic sigh when reading it.
