Before You. Poem by Fay Slimm

Before You.

Rating: 5.0


Were there ever lovely skies, red-streaked with dawn?
Were vibrating colours so exciting?
And were green new-budded leaves adorning
Branching trees so soft and tightly furled? Might
I have missed these wonders before you, or
Were they not there? Please tell me, prior to you
Was fire as bright, flaming me toward more
Tender heat to thaw my heart.? Raindrops too
As glittery? And did people wear such
Friendly smiles? I remember no renewed
Mind then. Flowering now perhaps overmuch,
I still prefer this happy, lasting mood
Which electrifies my day. Pleasuring
You is proving such a priceless treasure.

This poem reflects an inspired, cultured style; there are romantic themes, however now I should suggest quiet, moderation: this poem deserves ten any way.

You play the passion of one 'in love' with fistfuls of arpeggios in this highly romantic write. Actually it reminds me of that beautiful old standard from 'The Music Man': 'There was love all around But I never heard it singing No, I never heard it at all Till there was you' Your final line is particularly pleasing. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
