Would That Suffice In A Harlequin World?

Love is the liquefaction of need,
the amalgamation of want and desire.
There is no simplistic word that exemplifies it.
For love we quest all our lives,
warranting that it’s to be had at the next twist of the road,
over yon horizon,
and yet whom are we kidding?
It’s more involved than that.
It’s the stillness upon the air after a kiss,
the nape of your neck proceeding twilight.
Oh we can write about it.
With grandiose words we can paint it well,
yet these are but poor caricatures.
Shakespeare,
now he could have bestowed life to these thoughts.
His sonnets aroused the spirit,
rent from the heart such fervency not even time could curtail its’ luminescence.
Woe-is-me I am not he…
nor was I conferred a golden tongue at my birth.
When I voice my thoughts,
it’s as if my mouth were brimming with marbles.
A maundering stream of prattle spews forth,
leaving mine ears sore from misuse.
Like breakers thundering onto stony shores,
they vault heavenward,
only to come clamoring down in a fine mist.
Bah!
Who can perceive what it is the heart is trying to say over such a squall?
Perhaps it would be simpler just to say, “I love you.”
But would that suffice in a Harlequin world?

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

This is great - and you work the word magic quite well. In a Harlequin world, I love you takes the cake.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

What an exquisite write! I speak with marbles, as well. I write well because I can't talk a good game. If it's important to get my message across I write it. Sound familiar? You have such a command of the English language. I savor the words and roll them around (with the marbles) a while and contemplate what great gift you have been given in your poetry. I am utterly amazed everytime I open a post from you. In your words, "Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!"

this is the one you were talking about lastnight? you're not serious are you ... it's one thing to be our own worse critic i do it all the time. (constantly) but contrary to what you think, it does not come easy for me. i write and re write a dozen times or more before it's ever seen.. and i never .. never !! base whether or not a poem is written well, on how many comments it receives. hell... there are plenty of my pieces here that have hardly been read let alone commented on .. but, the fact is, if i didn't like it, no one would see it. YOU, have control of your words hon.. you don't fling them around willy nilly and toss a poem up here that isn't a poem. too many do that. too many "write from the heart" blah. that's just an excuse they give themselves, to make them feel better. you on the other hand have worked on something for days at a time. and... it shows!!
my whole point .. is it's ok that you want to read those books, but, listen to yourself love. i happen to think you're doing just fine. i honestly do. yeah. i went on. sue me lol.
