will you? (Free verse) by Sapphire
dip fingers into hues of wine paint the skies of ancient time braid the days in shining twine the plaits of night dark and divine hold the universe out to you sublime all for want, your heart, be mine

Up the ladder: Jericho
Down the ladder: Fascination

I think in the second to last line you're jumping objects? [I] hold the universe out to you [the you of all previous lines] and it jars a bit. perhaps you could make it more explicit? or perhaps I'm misreading -- if so, I really can't read that line. It's very sweet, regardless, though not my thing.

with all those rope images, you may as well just tie him up.

That is some serious rhyming.

I like the last line, and a lot of the rest of it too. I think it could flow a lot better though.

nice poem, bit too much rhyming for my (personal) linking, but it was to the point and quickly got a very nice image across to me.
