Flickering flames dancing upon the walls
as pen flows fast, stops, stutters and stalls
A fragrance flowing from across the way
calling, whispering, telling him to stay.

The flames that waiver and tell the tale
as two shadows now one in passion flail
A sigh, a moan, a gasp in whispered soft
from above, the steps into one love’s loft

A clink of glass that tells of their thirst
giggles and laughs, one surely will burst
Murmurs and smacks from kisses shared
lost in the moment two lovers dared

Hay falling like straw messengers thin
telling of the love which conquers, wins
Familiar sounds of love in their throes
lasting till daybreak, no one else knows

Eyes drift into sleep in morning’s rise
as slumber takes from lips longing sighs
Two hearts joined as one beating strong
as love of ages becomes melodic song.

(sigh) Wow, you indeed have a wonderful library of love going, sweet friend, the descriptiveness of your words always amazes me and has me waiting to see what you come up with next! (smiles) This is another fabulous classic, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Magnus hi there this is absolutely excellent writing, and this verse is truly one of the best I’ve ever seen from you. I know you are a good writer, I’ve read your work and I’m inspired by it, this is something extra special. As mum says you are almost too good. Excellent writing I really do love this

Eyes drift into sleep in morning’s rise
as slumber takes from lips longing sighs
Two hearts joined as one beating strong
as love of ages becomes melodic song.



Love and warm stuff
As always
Krissy

And while thy willing soul transpiers
at every pore with instant fires

good grief, I don't know how you guys come up with such romantic mushy stuff! I guess I've grown out of that phase in my life and writing
