Romancing poetry ... A, B, C’s of a poet’s prayer.
(An abecedarian/acrostic.)
All that I am, all I would be,
Bring forth from the deepest part of me.
Caught in your spell command my effort.
Draw fervor, language of passion
Everlasting in translation, trigger tongue’s rapport.
Form portraits sculpted from wordless feelings,
Give eloquence exquisite frame and meaning.
Help me hold you to heart, show you without,
Image you, dearest love’s face.
Joyous in celebration, compel your coming out.
Know that I care, work hard to prepare,
Love what I do, as only dare you compare.
Mark my commitment to this, our passage,
Now aligned purpose in tandem,
Oblivious in isolation, script heart’s message.
Present stories sketched from limitless emotions,
Quest essence luminous of memory and notions,
Record worth of life’s lessons in discovering you.
Sentence me, I promise fulfillment!
Tender in contemplation, trace pilgrimage true .
Underscore who I am, what We mean,
Verbal garden adventures depict ardor’s scene.
Words weave their spells, fingers find keys,
'X'-cite me! Interpretations I’ll fashion,
Yearn in anticipations, render soul’s release.
All that's been said, and more! This is absolute exquisite.
"Verbal garden adventures depict ardor’s scene.
Words weave their spells, fingers find keys,
'X'-cite me! Interpretations I’ll fashion,
Yearn in anticipations, render soul’s release"
Love these closing lines.

Helga, this is TOP-FLIGHT work, just EXCELLENT writing, and that's hard to pull from me since I generally do not like abecedarian/acrostic stylizations (precocious little conceits and too "in-jokish", amusement for poets by poets)... but your scholarship and artistry elevatE this styling far above the norm! BRAVO!
Inspirational poetry, written from the heart and soul. Verses that are well-suited for reading on a rainy day and that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
