Poor's the language expressing joy we've known
in fortuned moments spent in Love's embrace,
souls rest where former butterflies had flown
sharing their nectar bound to passion's grace.

Intertwining the beauty that they've seen
offerings from finest flowers given,
matters now where they are not where they've been
such convergence is our earthly heaven.

The furrowed brows of worry soon depart
as windblown clouds reveal dark's hopeful stars,
Love's pure canvas is painted with our art
as glowing Venus doth align with Mars.

Desire is thirst at first we tremble
but tranquilize in sweet kisses rainfall,
and soon clouds burst as our halves assemble
in a rapture known as bliss we enthrall.

For Love is light and the reason we are,
it's pleasured time outshines the darker pain,
unwritten unforgotten heart's memoir
warm to it's radiance while in it's reign.

Fate, Time, Occaision, Chance, and Change?
To these all things are subject but eternal Love.
                -Shelley

unwritten unforgotten hearts memoir

I think you've written it here. A beautiful write. (I seem to use that word "beautiful" a lot on this site. I hope it doesn't sound trite or overdone, but I just find so many beautiful thoughts expressed here by you all)

A fine piece

OH MY!!! Richard this is SUPERB Poetry.
What a high level of inspire this beauty is...
the imagery, the language & vocab,the cadence, the poetic phrasing, the romantic-bittersweet intend...
ya had me from the butterfly verse *S*
this is poetry in motion and the only thing left to say is..
I wish I had wrote this...
(and its a keeper to be read many times)
wonderful writing Richard.

A man who asks a woman to lie for him, is a man who will lie to that woman.
A woman who lies for a man, is a woman who lies to herself.

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...

Both your poetry and your presence are missed here poet sir...
just wanted to let you know ...
and read this gem again

I'm like a broken record that you can play ...
Repeating (as if it matters) ... everything I say.
