Another gets some credit unwittingly besides my muse
for we both trod on the same points unbeknownst to one another today. I was told 'give me no credit'
but I could not so post without a hint

"What's in a name" said Shakespeare
"A rose by any other name
would smell as sweet"
Yet I must dispel this fallacy
For no other name is as musical
No other name but yours cries love
To my wounded heart
To hear your name conjures
Blossom bursting from bud
In garden explosion of color
Would that these few words
Were enough to cover the love
You inspire,
That I could be silent
And give myself
To the quiet adoration of a kiss
Simply murmur with butterfly eyelashes
Give myself over to your ardent lips
For even as we speak
It is all I know how to do

The first duty of love is to listen.

You weave these words so well, drawing us in and pouring on the love.

thy cherished muse has blessed thee with butterfly kiss
and thou name could be no sweeter than the intend of this

There are two lasting bequests
that we can hope to instill in our children
one is roots ...
the other ... wings.
