Melting Your Heart With Words Poem by Stephen Denny Paul White

Your baroque construction work upon my heart
Could only baste these strips together,
Allowing the eminent unraveling.

Elucidate this foreign wall for thine eyes,
For once upon a moment
I kissed thee;
Thy guard is now high upon its saddle
And you are smiling without me.

I fumble this one detail awkwardly
In my hands, wondering
How it is I fell
Deep into your abyss.
How could I let such a large gap
In your perfection
Escape my eyes?

With a fist in your burning heart,
Not only were the moments
Ecstasies, but they -as well-
Are ones that will be fused in my memory
Evermore.

I need not seduce myself
With your memory,
For such interstices are impossible to
Escape.

If melting your heart was like writing a word
This poem would surely do the trick,
But eyes of such beauty -endearing perfection-
Would surely never look at this.
