English Lessons
Arriving at the pre-arranged time
it was unexpected, the welcome I received.
A beauty that belied a well-worn innocence
greeted with smiling eyes, set with a countenance
brighter than any star.
A soft shy ‘hello’ and polite banter
with coffee followed, we discussed
your level of English while a heart
spoke to another from afar.
The kitchen was adequate for our purposes,
the plastered walls, painted in magnolia pride
resonated with sonorous syllables, adverbs, adjectives,
abstracted against feelings no language barrier could hide.
The body language was present perfect though
and very funny, the way you tried not to let it show.
We laughed so much it bordered on absurd
the night we discovered love is so much more than just a verb.

When beauty and art mingle with wonders ~ the poemization of a lesson of harmony ~ will be felt in the warehouse of love, and emotions will create the lexicon to poetize a masterpiece; and, "English Lessons" is delivered to enchant and teach what poetic excellence commands.
