I scouted tenemants of verse today To see if I could find A crystal version of love so pure To parallel my mind Through Shakespeare's sonnets And Keats' enchanting despair I discovered no comparison To the feelings that I bear Coleridge, Byron and Kipling Not one of their songs rejoice The feeling you evoke in me When I hear your voice My alphabet is empty Blank verse describes it best Words could never capture Your warmth and lovliness Intense sensations are free Some things should never be captured Let them float and fly and pass you by Just relish in their rapture So, Darling, my sweet Although i tried to look I hold more for you than can be described By any poem in a book |

My alphabet is empty Blank verse describes it best Words could never capture Your warmth and lovliness I really love these lines, well I do like the rest too actually. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
