    Poem Commentary

    I am honored to say that "Should" is a collaboration between Marsink and myself. This was a poem in progress that Marsink had abandoned; I read it and loved it, added to it, and suggested the obvious title, We tossed around some ideas and changes, edited it together, and brought it to life to share with our OP friends.

    Should
    Should the sun tempt by offering radiance,
    I shall be content with your joyous smile
    Should dazzling stars wing thoughts to unseen skies,
    Transport sweetens through promising eyes

    Should this world’s wiles encamp to vanquish
    I strengthen by your constant faithfulness
    Should another maiden pass: paused before gaze
    I shall flee from her, you are vision's praise

    Should rhythms, leap wild, hypnotic aural fountains
    Cryptic treasure sought in crags dark mountains
    To discourage, dismay from ardent display
    Haste is my friend, love calls stronger today

    Should temptation descend on great eagle wing
    Wielding seduction cloaked scantily in mist
    I’ll search crystal moonlight for your secret cloud
    Taking flight as one, my love openly avowed.

    I think the lyrics here are absolutely breathtaking sister. Now I struggled some with your metering- only cause Im such a weirdo- but then I seen your unique pattern.. really cool; you rhymed off the last two lines of the first quad, and the last two of the last quad, and then rhymed off the body of the work with AA BB style- It really works!! I have recently found my new favorite poet (next to Poe) his name is Henry VanDyke- his metering styles, and poetic messages, are off the freakin chain- seriously julie, this guys the shit- ya gotta check him out! Anyhoots- love this, the poem truely took me away- thanks for sharing friend!-Maddi
