If Love could speak

 Did love, when tasted like a fine red or white wine, change you forever? 


Title: 


If Love could speak



(A lone voice whispers)


Yes, I


From whence all gloriously driven emotionally 


Notorious or mysterious sensuous pain or enjoyment 

Stems from


Heartbreaking strenuous anxiety but also soul rousing feelings 


Which beats loudly your life's drums like a reborn John Bonham


On a rare mid-summer night

Filled with wild rain or sun


Soaking all gathered with the precious aroma of an exquisite, expensive perfume


Which invades all minute spaces like an insidious thief

In any particular room


When l invite you 

If you dare 


To welcome me in


To then see the world through new crystalline lens


As your soul finally matures and burns


As it's put through my exceptionally complicated


But sophisticated extraordinary fires


To be eventually 

Willingly or unwillingly cleansed


By having an affair with me as I answer all of your hearts prayers


By leading you to my lair

Upstairs

By the hand
