LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY...

A Poem;

(This poem was based on Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Love’s Philosophy" which I found to be a brilliant poetic work and highly enjoyed reading. In my writing endeavors and poetic excursions, I have written a few poems that were based upon and was my own spin on some beloved, well known poetic works and famed writings of poets, and I decided that I wanted, needed to do one of Shelley's "Love’s Philosophy", so I penned this as my off take of Shelley's wonderful and masterful work, using his poetic masterpiece as my inspiration. My goal in this and all my poetic endeavors, my excursions in writing an off take, spinoff, of a famed, well loved poem is to write a poem that is as good as or better than the poem which initially inspired it. What do you think?);

LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY... (A Fancy Amor)

The Fountains mingle, with the River,
And the Rivers, with the Sea.
In a Stir, they Cascade and Quiver,
Just As Your Rapture, Cascades, Over Me.

Your Beauty, Such Resplendence,
Stupefies Me, Ever So.
Intoxicating, Your Very Essence,
Such Rapture, You Bestow.
Of Beauty, You're The Very Quintessence.
It Just Gushes Out, Your Every Pore,
Bathing Me, In Fascinated Fancy,
Infatuating Me, Exhilarating Me, Utterly.

Mona Lisa... Venus... Aphrodite...
No One As Lovely, As You.
Mother Nature's Serene Beauty
Fails, In Comparison, Too.

As the winds, so softly and gently, blow upon the leaves and trees,
Playing Nature's, Sweet, Melody,
As they rustle, in what seems, a Symphony,
You rustle, My Heart, with Rhapsody,
Playing, Music, Upon, My Soul.
There is, No Greater Ecstasy, then that, which you Bellow.

As The Sunlight, Kisses, Your Skin,
As Your Lipstick gets to Taste, of Your Lips,
I'd like, to Taste, Your Succulence.
I'd give, anything, for just one Kiss.

As The Breeze, get to, Caress You,
My Hands, They Long To, As Well.
By Your Anatomy, I Am, So, Seduced.
You Leave Me, Utterly, Spelled.

Like The Starlight Illuminates The Heavens,
I like to, also, Your Heart,
I'd like to Shine, Upon You, With My Iridescence,
And Amorous Fancy, within you, Spark.
No Greater Earthly Blessing,
Than The Love, Upon You, I'll Impart.

All I ask is, for a few moments,
To My Amatory Intention Show,
And if to those few, you are open,
I Guarantee, I'll Make You Want, A Few More...

Here is Shelley's original work;

Love's Philosophy
Percy Bysshe Shelley - 1792-1822

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle—
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
