Discovered World

Her Unspoken Spells

Women in the Garden by Claude Monet
Women in the Garden by Claude Monet

     

    I know it is love since she speaks to me
    From her heart of hearts where true love still dwells;
    Marked by the grammar of pain now set free--
    My own heart, haven to unspoken spells.

    Intoxication by her sultry voice,
    Smothers and swallows my own silent strains,
    And in supplication, do I rejoice,
    By kneeling before her, with these refrains.

    She tells me she loves me in unknown ways,
    Beyond the wanton wonder her words, wild
    With the unwashed weather of passion's phrase--
    Cleansing my palate of thoughts thought reviled.

    No sound nor word from her magic mouth slips,
    Her charms are cast with one kiss from those lips.
