Love's Breaths Denied

Love's Breaths Denied

I bow to you fair lady

whose pen, whose words,

leave shadows

on the greatest bards.

And who can command

such beauty to mine eyes

with such eloquent,

evocative and exquisite

verse.

You paint in pastel

shades as letters

spill across your pages.

You bring us rainbows

and angels, and unicorns.

You show us fairies and

mists and spring-times,

and the most perfect

of romantic notions.

Yet still you would

wield a sword

and cut me

to the quick.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the one we most long for...so poetic in so many ways..but the love is empty, lacking...held back...

as in Hamlet..."god gives you one face and you paint another"---

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Jacob
