How Far

How Far

A Poem by Antonio Valentino

 

 

How Far

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How far can

petals amore of

warmth

skitter,

across plains

unordinary

and sentiment of

solstice, and

traverse.

 

Over the woods and through

the shivers

that make still

mountains of moment and

canyons,

of cautionary

trails.

 

This sky

this, laughter of,

at must

fear,

is

chatty this day

yelling and pushing

at foliage and

frond

and blooms

a whither

to leave

the limbs

and flippers

of treason,

stem.

 

Let these branches

be armed

by me

to wave

in the night

out of reach

only,

by your

sight,

my affect

shunned,

by the legs

of

the wind

to master,

their dusty knees

of my dark,

inside

the sweet pink

marmalade,

of your

light.

 

My heart

arose,

this morning

needing,

your nursery.

 

Its burrowing root

coveting

your firma,

taut

and terra.

 

Hold me

this night

and all nights

close,

and full.

 

And let us

bloom

again

this time

forever,

within the

fragrance sweet

traced,

in posey and

richness.

How far can your words penetrate the soul? Infinity I say...there's no boundries for talent such as this.

I will admit, it takes me time to read your work. However, so sweet in its pureness.

Like the way you work at the theme and stick to your structure,Good work, it has the feeling of a kind of long haiku.
