Poem 001: Charmed

Rating: 5.0


It needs no much talking
I’ll straightway declare:
It’s friendship I’m stalking-
And friends are so rare-
So make no refusing
My dear, I can’t bear
The mere thought of losing
Those glances so fair
And those wondrous eyes
That dare to outglare
The Beauty that lies
Up there, I would swear!

My heart leaps and capers
When hearing your call
Your sweet eyes, my tapers,
Enkindle my soul.

oops. straightaway as an adjective also may mean 'immediate' : ) AND, as a noun, it may mean 'a: the straight part of a closed racecourse: STRETCH b: a straight and unimpeded stretch of road or way'

Yes, it needs no much talking.Love will gently enter your heart and you will wonder whether it is love or only friendship!

OK, OK, OK! So the author uses 'friendship' instead of 'love', but I HOPE love include friendship. I especially enjoyed the last seven lines of stanza 1. 'My dear.....would swear! '.

This is very 'romanitc' in my non-romantic eyes. I tend to shy away from writing of reading LOVE poems, but this one is a GREAT ONE! ! ! : ) bri 5 stars
