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 dusks 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 …

A lovely truly wonderful write......

It has touched my soul in so many ways...and I just loved the use of old English. It gave it such a magical touch.....

I would quote the whole poem to tell you just how much I enjoyed it.....

Thank you

unto thy soul shall I be
with quiet song sung for thee
until the night my song is heard
and the heart of love becometh stirred

well done. . . a wonderful prayerpoem. . . given in the style of Olde. . .
