Speak To Me Of This
This is just one example of my poetry. Do not 'type-cast' this style of poetry-composition by thinking it is the ONLY fashion I compose. I am able to write a poem instantly, for ALL occasions, and for all needs.
Dear girl,
Speak to me of laughter instead of tears;
For dwelling within the gaiety of laughter is a lightness of spirit.
Speak to me of triumphs rather than troubles;
Your listeners will take heed of successes, but turn aside from woes.
Speak to me of contentments found, in a chaotic life;
It is the rare person who chooses calmness before the storm.
Speak to me of learning, against all odds;
Knowledge bestows strength, and the wisdom to use strength for the good.
Speak to me of kindness not hatred;
Planting a seed of kindness spreads tendrils of warmth, but planting a seed of hatred rots the soul.
Last of all dear girl, speak to me of love;
Speak to me of moonlit nights and stolen kisses.
Speak to me of heartbreaks and heartaches and tearstained pillows;
Yet as you do, let me look upon your face, for there I will see the meaning of love.
If you have loved and have been loved, your life was not in vain;
Please dear girl, speak to me of that.
