    The closest thing to a love poem ever written by me lol

    "I Never Wrote A Love Poem..."

     I Never Wrote A Love Poem…



    Like the pristine blue of sixteen pools…
    Your crystalline hue is glistening through
    The reflection in my eyes paints a shimmering you
    You make my blood boil, then turn it to a simmering brew



    I’m so enraptured now…I’m hemorrhaging you
    My heart clears way for the missile he shoots…
    straight at my head…dismissing he’s proof…
    of this projectile called love, kissing deep roots



    Like the crisp clean hue of pristine blue
    You’re shimmering through and glistening too
    The reflection in my eyes paints a blistering you
    You set my soul on fire, then extinguish with dew



    I’m hopeless captured now…wrapped in kudzu
    My art gives way to a painting unto…
    she who’s spell I could never undo…
    because this x-file called love is finally getting just due.



    She carries no name because for this it’s uncouth…

    I never wrote a love poem…

    but this could be you.

    This is true romance. I wish I knew who this was written to. She's a lucky girl. Your style is unusual and flows like a song. Did you intend it to be that way?

    malik, The tile of this poem sent its aura out letting me know it would be something that was unexpected. Your piercing lines explain why a love poem can be risky. I commend you on this antithesis. ginga

    thank you ginga...I am glad you liked it...and I appreciate you stopping by as always :)

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
