The Quill’s Feather

By my soul
so very long ago
she took me in her pink-white hands
and bade me write, strand by strand.

Dipping my tip
in the blackest ink
she put her thoughts on paper fine
feelings that she shared were partly mine.

She knew not
my feelings when
her liquid feelings flowed from my pen
knowing I would write for her again, and again.

She took time
putting to black line
her deepest passions left unheard
except for these here, her written words.

Penmanship
extraordinaire
writing with beauty, grace, flair
keeping her loving words safely, here.

When feelings
became warm
she would clutch me tighter, then
the feather at my top would quiver when

She caught
her own gasp
at the lines of devotion she wrote down
feelings of love she would within drown, drown.

Those were
the times best
when quivering feather laid to rest
for love’s passion had met passion’s test.

Karilea,
the pen is indeed mightier than the sword.

Karilea, this is lovely, I like this so much. It flows with the fluidity of ink, yes I really like this. Take a bow Karilea, yes I know you're shy but if you will write so well what do you expect but ovations and applause.
Take care

Ladies,

Kethry, most assuredly it is...

Marge, your compliment is VERY, too...

Marsha, exactly what I had hoped someone would see...and how did you know, my dear, that I fight my shyness each and every day..., so don't be surprised to see me blush when I curtsy, thank you for your lovely words...

Maureen, your signature line says so very much about you...and I thank you for your smiles...

Gentleman...

Mark, here you are in a lady's drawing room, looking over at what she writes...and then you plagarize! {~,^}...so glad you liked it...thank you for taking time to come in and read...

Karilea
When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ
