"Sonnet 199" Silence speaks between hearts and also silence denies, which is more true? Care to C/C?

.

Sonnet 199

Love dances in the glitter of her smile,

Reflections of the promise in her eyes,

Unfolding slowly, wishful to beguile,

To give away what silence oft denies;

Yet, words despoil the essence of the act;

Is not a sigh enough to express bliss?

For speech seems needless to discern a fact,

As needless as permission for a kiss;

But roses only need to scent the breeze,

With not a sound, the nose will know how sweet,

And be led to the flower source with ease,

To find her there, the way how lovers meet;

.....As all converge to where love calmly waits,

....Love turns the world and open up all gates.

.

Update:

HH, that is a good riff of my poem. I acknowledge you could also make great parodies. lol.

Update 2:

The second poem is not a parody, but the first seems like it. But all okay in wit. I refrain from comparing poems with each other in the same genre, much less with comparing poems of differing formats. I believe every poem is a class its own.

Update 3:

Oh yes, your first poem is the reversed image of mine.

    Sonnet 991

    Hate dances in the blackness of her smile,

    Deflecting all the promise in her eyes,

    Enfolded slowly, wishful of denial.

    To chase away what silence oft implies;

    Yet, words despoil the essence of the act;

    Is not a growl enough to express this?

    For speech seems needless to condemn; in fact,

    Its needless as permission for a kiss;

    But roses carry thorns to slake their need,

    With not a sound, the nose will feel the tweak,

    And be bled by the flower touched with ease,

    To find her there, adjuring him as weak;

    .....Her hatred, rises, like a panther waits,

    ....For him who dared despoil her mouth's sweet gates.

    Okay, how about a real poem.

    Poetry:

    Gently looking at my hair so graying

    Parted lips about to turn to laughter

    Not at me or at what I was saying

    Just the funny thoughts that strike her after

    Silly mockery of poetry:

    Oh, to be a flower and have one peal

    To press so gently 'neath my lover's foot

    This small humble task would be ideal

    That she left me bearing love's sweet soot.

    Source(s): The 21st century is calling. Archaism is well, archaic. Point of information, none of these is a parody.
