Ah Yes Love

Today I have Scrap that Poetry's next challenge for you using  a poem by Clarence B. Campbell... Ah yes! Love

Ah, yes! Love 

Is peaches and honey, and figs, and cream. 

And wild grapes dripping beside the stream, 

Humming birds, 

And a young man's dream! 

Ah, yes! Love 

Is bubbles and beauty and lantern light, 

Music and madness and dizzy height, 

And a star-filled night! 

Ah, yes! Love 

Is oceans and azure, and infinite skies, 

Rubies and ivory, and fathomless eyes, 

Where the bluebird springs 

And signs as he flies! 

Ah, yes! Love 

Is whispers, and flickers, and candleshine, 

Glances and trances, and deep, red winde, 

And the moon-dust that clings 

To the gossamer vine! 

Ah, yes! Love 

Is kisses, caresses, and sweet desire, 

Prickles and shivers, and flashing fire, 

And melodies 

From a throbbing lyre! 

Ah, yes! love 

Is silver, and roses, and gay champagne, 

And the soft reprise of the April rain, 

And memories 

That will long remain!
