Listening to every heart

0 posted 2000-12-14 03:00 PM




come the assignation
secret rendevous
dwell here a small while
in the gloom
consult thy heart
see that there is room
for only one
my one
love

in this tryst
of hearts never
part ever
beloved

the flower plucked
to scent thy bed
and give heady thy
fragrance light
throughout our night

adoring delight

untress my hair
and let it lay cross
your chest
sit with me at
foot of brier
let thy love lift
to the higher
element

and be then
heaven
sent

How romantic and quite "Victorian" in feel--written with your usual gentle grace! Very, very, lovely, Karilea!

Sunshine, you can take a phrase like "untress my hair" an make it sound sooooo sensual! Such a beautiful flavor to this poem I can almost taste it..

Kari love, another excellant beautiful flowing and liquid piece. This is exquisite, I really love this one. And you are truly inspired. So okay now for your story, do Persephone, I can't wait to see that. Utterly magical love.   I know, it's want, want, want with me. What if I say please  
Take care kid

Marsha, I will need to do a LOT of research before I'm ready to tackle Persephone...I'm just dabbling now...hoping you approve...

and James?...I am never completely satisfied with my work (when it's first out, but then later...sigh) but you and I shall strive together...time and patience is on our side, hey?...

*bowing*

lady fair, I am amazed
at the poem that graces this page
the words within telling so soft
of a warmth that holds aloft. . .

wonderful your grace. . .

"Heavenly shades of night are falling
it's twilight time.
Out of the mist your voice is calling
it's twilight time.
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day,
I'll see you again at twilight time."

"Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
like days of old.
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
with dreams untold
each day I pray for evening just to be with you
together again at twilight time."


Ah! the romance of a lover's rendevous.... this is beautiful Karilea!!!

Take care love

Nan, thank you....you know how I treasure your comments....

Marsha, it's a very deep vein, and it is very, very golden in color...thank you for being that inspiration....
