Take my heart and eat it whole
Taste my fire my burning soul
In life’s blood Dionysian wine
Feel the passion of art divine

Take my breath and breathe in deep
Imbibe my soul and with it keep
The elements of fire and wind
Treasure my virtues excise my sins

Take my tongue this silver coil
Plant your seeds in fertile soil
That they may grow beneath our love
Reach to the heavens and stars above

Take my hand and lead me true
Light a path from me to you
Reap the crop that you have sown
Be brave step through the unknown

Take my eyes take what they see
See yourself your true beauty
Cast away your jaded glass
And behold what may come to pass

All I am I am for you
Both the sublime and dissolute
Hear my song this siren call
Shall we fly? or shall we fall?


Dedicated to Shannon, my beloved.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

Very interesting word picture with some of those there.

I liked the flow and the rythm.

The fourth Stanza (last line) "Be brave step through the unknown"  threw me off a bit because of the flow but it may have been just me.

I always want to say "Be brave step through to the unknown."  *shrugs*

All in all nice write.

Your fortunate Shannon must be amassing quite the treasure trove of love poems from her beloved!

They truly are exquisite in both sentiment and form!!!

The entire poem is excellent, but I particularly like these lines... Shannon is a lucky lady! *S*

So enchantingly well done!!

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
