no flowers and hearts no valentines, soft spoken sonnets all such tender, gentle things, gone no noble actions, no chivalry not even a single courtsey no pity, no poetry and least of all love no dark wishes no furitive kisses no longing and yearning and pining no intellectual discussions with passionate repercussions all is lost to an explosion if you would with me rake through the remains to find for me something lost so long ago in the season of youth, once so doggedly followed the death of romance is scarcely mourned a servant to my heart one who cannot live without my love where has he gone? ------------------ "Come night, come darkness, for you cannot come too soon or stay too long in such a place as this."

Roxane, after the first eleven lines or so this poem really started singing to me, it had a kind of lilt to it which I think for me is maybe enhanced by a certain wonderful echo of the opening part of Stevie Wonder's "I just called to say I love you". I can't really begin to presume to critique the poem, I just loved it all - wonderful. [This message has been edited by Poertree (edited 11-15-1999).] |
