had not she crossed my threshold
on that september day
had not her voice
drifted like silk on a summer breeze
to wrap sheer and sweet
around my heart
had not I been drawn
like a bloom to the morning sun
had not I been captivated
as a hummingbird
by a drop of nectar
crystal on a velvet petal
had not my love come down
soft as a rolling mountain meadow
had not this dream been born
had not my life begun again

This reminds me of something that I could have read in the Song of Solomon, so beautiful and loving.
Beautiful love poem, Rob.
Oh yeah. That’s what I’m talking about. From the heart.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful!
I like this.
Beautiful and such a powerful declaration of love. Very masculine. (I think Oldegg needs to see this one; to go along with his comment on mine.)
Hauntingly sensual. This is quite powerful.
So lyrical..just rich and rolling with love and passion..Jae
Exquisite…love this.
Oh my , this is SO beautiful and romantic. The lucky lady that this was written about.
This is beautiful, Rob. Lush images open glimpses of your love.
romantic….beautiful!
this is a marvelous poem
A pretty nigh perfect declaration of love I’d say.
Quite beautiful.
The lady you wrote this for is lucky.
So lively and romantic. Took me into my ‘had not….’
Thanks.
This is very interesting because, ha, ha, it is romantic..you have created magic..here.. thank you!!
so beautiful, the depth of love is clearly shown!
Now, this is one sweet love poem, told originally.
Had not One Stop Poets congregated to hang their lovely words out for all to see, I’d never have known such a hummingbird’s crystal treasure as Rob’s poem — I assume for the lovely Kathleen.
Thank you!
