WHY?, by GERTRUDE FRENCH First Line: To bask in your nearness is a wee bit of heaven Last Line: Fills that place in the depths of my heart. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
To bask in your nearness is a wee bit of heaven; The moments you give me are inspiring leaven; Your masterful walk And the way that you talk Thrills that space in my life that's apart. The story your eyes tell is manna divine; The smile that you feed me is sunshine sublime; The ethereal bliss Of your amorous kiss Fills that place in the depths of my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD LINES TO AN ARTIST by GERTRUDE FRENCH |
