May i write a poem
so to melt your beating heart
bridge the space between us
that has kept us far apart
Words so true and clear that there
is no more use denying
all the love we have to give
before our bodies die
Might i craft a song to sing
or story for to tell
with a vision for our lives
ringing like a bell
Read with awe and wonder
as the words flow like a spring
waters pure and cold emerge
to quench the thirst you bring
Let me write just one more sonnet
ere my body rest
you might read to suckle words
like babes upon your breast ~

After i sent this to Luna, i also sent her a note with my reservations around posting .. i’m not sure i like it anymore, judging it to be overly dependent on rhyme and rhythm but lacking deeper meaning. I have this concern with several of my poems, but also assume it is part of my learning. At any rate.. here is the final draft of this one.. somewhat more to my liking, but still wondering.. is it good, or is it just a donut.. soft and sweet.? …. Love in Words
Might i write a poem song
to warm your beating heart
Bridge the space between
what ‘er keeps us far apart
Words so true and clear
that there is no point in denying
All the love we have to give
before our flesh be dying
Might i craft a song to sing
or story for to tell
With a vision for our lives
that rings just like a bell
Reading humble words that tumble
flowing like a spring
Waters pure that merge and quench
the drying thirst you bring
Let me write just one more poem
lest our bodies rest
You might hold close to your heart
a babe upon your breast ~
