Could We, Would We, Should We, ? ? ? Poem by Anthony Burkett

Could We, Would We, Should We, ? ? ?

Rating: 3.0


Could we?
Be so brave
as to offer yet again another invitation to love?
Once again to risk our hearts our souls;
the doors of which pried open for its scouring inspection.
Wishing upon a shooting star.

Would we?
Together fly on wings of cherished desire
into the arms of our self same need?
Or fall separately from that reckless abandon;
felled by another of Cupid’s arrows misfired.
Wounded once again, laid bare, bleeding tears.

Should we?

How nice to read a Love Poem without declarations of undying passion, repeated desperately in forced rhyme. The question is posed very succinctly and with a very readable, whimsical air. I hope receives a favourable answer.

Such tender feelings, such affection, such love... how gently the words flow...as a heart in love...and, those questions...wow! How lovely!
