A stroke I place upon your cheek
Sparkles clear as a spring heaved creek.
A red bird from upon your bough
Flaps a white-scented song, and lo,
The ripe fig falls unto your lips,
Your vivid smile with calmness drips.

I know nothing about pentameter,

but isn't sparkles SPAR-kles not spar-KLES? But now I'm getting away from the point: I feel like this poem sacrificed what you were trying to do to fit into a shoe size too small--namely, rhyming and meter. Also, the ending line 'drips with calmness' doesn't do it for me... not sure why.

Don't

Know why you are inverting syntax in L1

I place stroke upon your cheek

L6 is dreadful
