She is a sonnet laid out, black and white
Fingers to trace the letters one by one
Eyes to devour her lines with pure sight
And a mouth to speak her tale that is spun

O but what I would give to have these things
As surely want as the same as to need
Breathing her words that bewitched heralds sing
And my love of words from her she will feed

In still deep waters her depths bottomless
From cradle to the grave I feel for her
My thoughts as I read her are limitless
And the patterns she weaves cause me to stir

That which would kill are but words in my head
Not the things she does, yet of what she said

This is just excellent poetry writing.

You have a poet's mind and that comes in real handy around here.
I wish I had the same but I just don't. Too much songwriter.

Enjoyable read.

If I were a songwriter, I could just chime in with a "me, too!" for ethome's comments. *S*

Fingers to trace the letters one by one
Eyes to devour her lines with pure sight
And a mouth to speak her tale that is spun

Pure enchantment... perfect write... Beautiful work!
