I would talk to you of beauty

[Philatone]

hello tec

I would have preferred not to have read the explanation, to be honest. that being said, my thoughts on the actual piece.

I Would Talk to You of Beauty

I would talk to you of beauty; no more to spew out bile and spite. ...took this as either the speaker deciding to stop "spewing out bile and spite" or as beauty stopping it. I think a comma would suggest the second more than a semi-colon
What glory to my eye, green fields, all starry topped in yellow trim.
And  there, the poppy, clustered red:
remember him, remember him....like the sinister quality imparted to the "red"

I would talk to you of beauty; not of the choking  guilty men....could be a comma instead of a period. the meaning is clear, but "choking guilty men" felt a little clunky to me
But of the joy of  a high  grown tree, all lichen hosed with glossy  crown!
Though scarred the  bark, and worn the bough,...second comma needed?
where ropes of justice once hung down.

I would talk to you of beauty, of  seas aglow  with  nuclear blue...."nuclear" didn't strike me as the ideal word here (personal preference)
Foamed irridescence,  hyaline  white, comes fast and fluid to the shore,
to sink in sands of  shingle bright,...when no other line is inverted until now, this stands out more
that buries deep the stains of war.

I would talk to you of beauty, of peaks thrust though the azure  air.
Still frosted in the summer light, ablaze when days fall in their shade.
Steep granite  pecked by puny pitons;
failed fixes by the  fallen  made.

I would talk to you of beauty, that  truth which everywhere  is seen. 
The lifting light of mornings new, the gentle bidding of each night.
When dreams will show you all of beauty....
whilst words, though chosen, only might.....strong closing line, compares words to history in a way

overall, I think you show the contrasts between past and present pretty well, tec
