Is It poetry

I Would Live in Your
hour and yours were my eternity
and in between the waiting
it grew much more than that
and so much well,
made harder
look wait listen there below
from the ends and laughing
there is not one pill for every thing
forever's young at dawn
and green tears are west
beneath our feet....iip

Sara Teasdale makes economical use of the quatrain in 'I Would Live in Your Love' - a four verse stanza that rhymes 'abab.' The poet brings to life the metaphor of a beating heart that resembles the concurrent pulse and throb of sea-grasses in the eternal motion of the sea! A lovely simile put to good use!

I love the structure - I often use a similar one.

The imagery of caressing of waves to sea leaves as love is wonderful and living a life with such a love is indeed the dream of many!

How true to relate the imagery of the sea to the depth and power of deep love.

Wow! ' I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul
as it leads.' - how powerful is that! It leaves me speechless. This is just awesome
