Cuarto Verso (Fourth Verse for Palma)

A Poem by Althea Tremaine

Old, old poetry. Things change; this time for the better.

     Cuarto Verso (Fourth Verse for Palma)

For lack of right words, I subject to these,

Whose meaning is tainted with wretched disease:

 

                       Cuarto Verso

Your eyes become pools that drown every sorrow,

Your hands are the craftsmen that mold my tomorrow;

Your voice is my remedy, soothing my pain,

Your delicate lips are my shields from the rain;

Your soul acts a haven that carries my life,

Your touch is the master that rids me of strife;

Your skin, a horizon that I can explore—

A wonderful medium that I can adore;

Your passion is mercy that keeps me alive,

You love is a bottomless pit where I dive;

You kisses are prisons that I can’t escape,

Your thoughts become promises I cannot break;

Your laugh is a ride to the heavens and back,

Your tears overcome everything that I lack;

Your anger is love that I dare not express,

Your smell is the garden where mysteries undress;

Your smile is the air that goes into my lungs,

Desire, the language that rolls off of my tongue;

Your words are emotions that I can’t explain,

Your feelings are forces no one can retain;

My love towards you is a theory unmade,

Each moment we share is our sadness betrayed;

Each poem for you is a fish in the sea,

Each verse with your name, an anonymous plea;

Each end is no end like the ring we shall wear

‘Til love becomes naught but the whispering air.

ohh what strong love ,strong words,it took me away ,how love can be like magic
nothing can work miracles like he ,what force he possess
to take over our souls...
Your delicate lips are my shields from the rain;
You love is a bottomless pit where I dive;
Your laugh is a ride to the heavens and back,
Your smell is the garden where mysteries undress;
Each moment we share is our sadness betrayed;
'Til love becomes naught but the whispering air.
oh what nice words ,nice feelings ,really intoxicating ,i really fell in love with these love words ,i loved it for it talks about so much love i have never seen before
