Poem 001: Charmed Poem by Samer Madbak

taper: '1 - A small or very slender candle.2 - A long wax-coated wick used to light candles or gas lamps. 3 - A source of feeble light.' So symbolic LIGHTED 'tapers', could, symboliically, enkindle [ 'To set afire; light. To incite; arouse.'] one's soul.

'caper': 'A leap; a skip or spring, as in dancing or mirth, or in the frolic of a kid or lamb, or a child; hence, a sportive or capricious action; a prank.' [a prank is a trick, to me]

SO AT TIMES 'straightway' and 'straightaway' are synomyms. This is a 'very early' one of Samer's poems, at the end of his 'poems by 'Hit' list'. ;) line 1: I'd use 'not much'

oops. straightaway as an adjective also may mean 'immediate' : ) AND, as a noun, it may mean 'a: the straight part of a closed racecourse: STRETCH b: a straight and unimpeded stretch of road or way'

Yes, it needs no much talking.Love will gently enter your heart and you will wonder whether it is love or only friendship!

Amazingly beautiful poem that will charm any one who will see friendship in a new light.

*****

OK, OK, OK! So the author uses 'friendship' instead of 'love', but I HOPE love include friendship. I especially enjoyed the last seven lines of stanza 1. 'My dear.....would swear! '.

This is very 'romanitc' in my non-romantic eyes. I tend to shy away from writing of reading LOVE poems, but this one is a GREAT ONE! ! ! : ) bri 5 stars
