I sat and wondered what words…what words?
And none came to be as beautiful as thee-
how can I write thy smile which lasts forever in mind
or give to others what thee hath given to me,
And I thought of wine which gets thee drunk-
then of poetry the weaker of the two
but if thou drunk enough poetry-
surely it would be the making of sense
drunk on the words from the heartfelt stranger.

So let me pour thee poetry,
And thou can pour me love-
and both shall be drunk on each other
forming our passion for all to know and see,
Stand still and the world will pass like a shadow-
but I from distance gaze shall stand still the same
and move within thy time no further away shall I be.

The eyes of others still remind me of the empty soul,
black as the darkest skies without a home-
but thee my love hath the colours of the sea
washed with a thousand more unknown to thee,
And the secret of my poetry is not unknown-
my mind is drunk on thee and I lust for more
pour more of thine kisses upon my lips-
feed me poetry, feed me poetry!
and we shall never die after we are dead.

Your "wonderings" are always fascinating!

"feed me poetry, feed me poetry!
and we shall never die after we are dead."

~ Love those closing lines!

Poetry feeds the soul and the heart, oh, but love, love is the fountain of youth,
love heals the whole body~ so pour to quinch the thirst, the hunger, so that I shall never hunger again.

Poetry is food for thoughts, love for the mind, I shall die, with empty stomach but words of heavenly beauty my mind will contain, my ears have heard heaven sing, so sweet a poem that has never been spoken across precious lips, and never will be heard, ever again~
