Can't Make You

by Michael D Nalley   Jan 7, 2014


If I could make you feel,
I then could make you see
the power made to heal
a gift to you and me.

I cannot make you hear
what's written in this line
or to read without fear
the words that are not mine

You may taste the wine
to stimulate your senses
Smell the soft scent so fine
That a spirit dispenses

There is a wedding feast
for the groom and bride
where finally at least
Love will no longer hide.

    I consider this poem strict to the point, unlike most romantic, or thought-begging poems that I've red(not all, just a sum), which I don't particularly have an interest in, probably due to my different view of art; and of course, it's easy to digest.
    There are two issues, however (one that may only appeal to me, the other quite obvious):
    "Smell the soft sent so fine"
    Do you mean a soft sent, as in, a soft message or communicative method, or a scent, a smell?
    The other issue is the rhyming of feast and last; mayhap use something else such as 'at least'; this would consequentively require you to rework that one line, unless you'd still want to keep the intensification of the moment - that finally, after an exhausting treck, love will make its appearance.
    Otherwise, great piece.
