     Nearer be , still , unto my soul


Refrain not thy love  ,             return unto my soul
Depart not again ,  alone :     thus nearer be , still
Fade not with evens’ breeze,        as dusk’s array
Return as dawn,                             doth not delay
Thus nearer be ,          still,               unto my soul
Withhold naught                              grievous pain
Neigh release to me ,      that mayest taketh away
Thus nearer be ,          still ,              unto my soul
Allow our loves                                 flowered  day
Sensuous aromas                               we navigate
Within thy sight our lives                          bouquet
Your butterflies alight                    Eden’s’ escape
Nearer be  ,                  still ,              unto my soul
Depart not                                                    again
That I mayest crave                       honeyed savor
Upon thy lips                                   delicate flavor
Would that ,               I  pine,    such sensual tone
As angelic verse  of love                        we spoke
Return,            thus depart not again,          alone
Thou sensed my being            shudder and quake
When times we entwined ,         within haven safe
Refrain not thy love ,                           thus return
To nearer be ,                  still,         unto my soul …

I appreciate the style of this, and I have a friend who I know would appreciate it also. Hopefully, this bump will cause him to see it. I wish I knew how to do this with my work.
