O' distant flower

Beauty from a far

O’ distant flower

By Jack Ivey

 

O’ distant flower, perfect bloom

Thy beauty full is shown

I stand beneath yon crescent moon

Yet, I am not alone

 

O’er moments saved my heart so deep

I breathe this evening air

To whisper thoughts of endless keep

With dreams that thee shall share

 

So bright the beams that meet my face

Of shadows long behind

If but your lips my love doth trace

In longings sent to find

 

I drink of sweet desire's wine

My cup doth overflow

To reach my arms as you are mine

In soft reflection's glow

 

O’ come to me my petals pure

My skin your touch doth need

Of only you I do adore

Emotions breath I  feed

 

O’ silent evening dances round

This valley high above

For on this night my heart hath found

Your precious perfect love

In the fashion of old school poetry, one of my favorites, this FEELS like poetry, like the kind you read alone but lamplight in the cloak of delight as one would the old masters, awesome write Jack, I enjoyed very much.

Now this is lust wearing the cloak of love. I must admit the feelings are so similar as to fool even the most astute pathologist. However, love is a thing that requires a close up knowing.... Still, it does seem "precious perfect love" is preserved as long as it stays afar.
A beautiful poem of the strangness of our vision of love.
