Refusal Poem by Maya Angelou
Refusal
Beloved,
In what other lives or lands
Have I known your lips
Your Hands
Your Laughter brave
Irreverent.
Those sweet excesses that
I do adore.
What surety is there
That we will meet again,
On other worlds some
Future time undated.
I defy my body's haste.
Without the promise
Of one more sweet encounter
I will not deign to die.
One of my favourites, awesome, phenomenal and dignified
The passion of love is such. But finding the right expression to convey feelings is a skill indeed and I could feel how it feels when one is deeply in love. I really liked the poem
Intensity of love and commitment with it is marvelous. A great love song.
Defying death despite fragile body condition recollecting intimate relationship whether that can repeated in other world or not only a strong will holder can say and do! Nice modern poem!
What surety is there That we will meet again, ..., deepness of love and life is impressively inscribed. It is nice to be chosen as the modern poem of the poem of the day.

My complaint simply is this. The works of Maya Angelou fail to enteract with the realm of symbolism. Symbolism is the poet's safe haven, a cavern in which they dwell to reflect upon the hours. It is how they express themselves to accuratley relate to others experiences and thoughts. Without the use of symbolism the poem has only a foundation but no would and nails.
