Linda Neill Poet Digter (South Africa)

Come close by and tell
me did you know me in a silent wish
and formed my laugh in a magical dish?
In kind I ask you spell,
my name in love of assonance¹
no games only hearts' utterance

Come to me and sell,
a tomorrow in a slow dance
Please closer and tell
you will not forsake our romance
For I will share even
my toothbrush with you
I will dare on forever
and place our hope in us two
Our future we will foretell,
in petals, a sonnet and tomorrow wine
oh my life, stay dear, near, my valentine

¹ Assonance - Poetry, Verse
² Sonnet - Little song
