Had Not

…written for Day #9, NaPoMo 2011…


Had Not

•

had not she crossed my threshold
on that september day

had not her voice
drifted like silk on a summer breeze
to wrap sheer and sweet
around my heart

had not I been drawn
like a bloom to the morning sun

had not I been captivated
as a hummingbird
by a drop of nectar
crystal on a velvet petal

had not my love come down
soft as a rolling mountain meadow

had not this dream been born

had not my life begun again

  1. Beautiful and such a powerful declaration of love. Very masculine. (I think Oldegg needs to see this one; to go along with his comment on mine.)

  2. Now, this is one sweet love poem, told originally.

    Had not One Stop Poets congregated to hang their lovely words out for all to see, I’d never have known such a hummingbird’s crystal treasure as Rob’s poem — I assume for the lovely Kathleen.

    Thank you!
