Poems of Love

[tanniyn]

Um...Hi...I know it has been a really, really long time since I posted anything....um...real life and I have been having a go round. *hides behind wings* I finally started writing again...I just hope that is worthy of the board. I see so many incredible poems being posted that...well...I am afraid I may have lost my touch or my pen as it were. I hope at least someone may find this worthy of a read. If not, at least, I can say I gave it a go...This one is set after New Moon Rising when all those feelings of new love and old are so clear and fresh.



IF....



I would sing a song to you

But alas my voice is not worthy.



I would paint your face upon my canvas

If...

I could paint.



I would write an opera to you

If...

I could but write the notes.



I would write you a sonnet

If...

I only knew how to.



Instead...



I will sing to you with my body.

I will write lyrics upon you.

My body will be a chorus.

My fingers the notes.



I will paint you with my fingers and tongue.

Each touch a brushstroke.

Each moment a new color on the palette.

Each second a new expression.



I will compose an opera upon your soul.

My voice in passion the tenor

Your voice the accompaniment.

We will sing our love to each other



I will write to you with my soul.

My pen will be my love.

The ink my heart.

My words written upon your sleeve.

Forever to stay.

If...You came by more often, we could enjoy more of your poetry, you naughty dragon!



However, all is forgiven since you shared this latest work with us.

Oh dear...you all are still reading my work...I feel bad now that I have been away so long. This dragon feels really humbled right now. I just wanted to take a moment to thank those who read my latest poem...You are all wonderful kittens. You make my dragon heart smile. Thank you...tanniyn



Diana- I do so hope it is ok that I address you by name, if not please let me know, I do not like to take liberties that are unwanted. Thank you very much. I am quite pleased that you liked this poem and for your ever so kind words. I am...well.. ....thanks again.





bulldog- I am a truly gifted poet? I...um...don't really know about that but I do consider that high praise coming from one as talented as yourself. . I will attempt to write more just not making any promises...I do have something in the works...just not sure yet. Thank you dear bulldog, your words mean a lot to me.





SJ- Thanks for always seeming to stop by and reading this shy dragon's words. Thank you.



Steph- Thanks Steph(may I also call you by your name?) I will try and post a little more frequently. As for the shadows, this dragon is comfortable there...my "talent" can handle the light, this little dragon just can't ...not yet.



Jean- *blinks eyes* Did I just see a pink dancing elephant? The dragon does imbibe a bit but not quite enough to see dancing elephants. this dragon is anything but "naughty" but thank you for your lovely words and compliments. You make me blush. . And yes, we dragons can be romantic...



Thanks again to all,

tanniyn

Dear dragon, you may certainly call me by my first name. Occasionally I respond to "hey you." I tried going by the tag on my underwear, but it says Victoria and I find it awfully confusing. So feel free to call me Diana or PH, either is fine by me. Oh yeah, more please!
