Poem Artwork

Why was I not born of stone?

 

Why was I not

Born of stone?

Like a gargoyle

Sitting atop

A cathedral’s ledge

So I won’t feel the pain

That’s saturating my heart and soul

Caused by being away from you.

 

Why was I not born color blind?

So my vision won’t be able

To immortalize

The blinding colors of the spectrum

And of your silken golden hair

Nor the beauty residing within

The pools within

Your sapphire blue eyes

 

Why was I not born deaf?

So I may not hear

Nor listen to the Angelic voice

Songs and sonnets

That torments my minds

Every thought of you

I imprisoned within my soul.

 

Why was I not born a mute?

So I may not be able to recite

The poetry’s rhythm

Passing through my lips

As I call out your name

Or every single I love you

While vowing my true love of you

Eternally

For I’ve been bewitched

By You

My true Goddess of my life.

But of course Queen's Musketeer, you were born of stone, but love converted the granite to a soft putty to make a heart, a red, pulsating one.

Now I am really curious William, who is this Goddess of golden hair and sapphire eyes that has you bewitched? This poem is supremo, very beautiful and reaches within my core. You have a way that grabs me everytime you write.
One of your best my dearest friend,
