For Poetrys not enough

Kevin Hulme

You ask where is my Passionate Silk prose,

The Pathway strewn with the Heart's grazed desires;

The Melody of Words the Love-Lost  knows,

The Contrast in Nature all Verse Requires.

Nightingale and Lark with Attendance made,

Heaven's lamp to the Pale dutiful Moon;

The Leafy Bowers where Affections trade 

And all Honey'ed talk through intimate Noon.

All of Poetry's Toys I'll render to you,

But drab words never Fire the Readers Eye;

To see a Rose is to Value it's bloom,

To describe such is desolate and dry.

No Poetic labours will fill my Nights;

My Lips alone must all Passion ignite.

        Experience is more imp. To feel something is imp
        Well worded and clever metaphors
