Like the dove soaring far and high
in watch with an eagle of eye
as the heart reaches out to grasp
a hand, a soul, a mind in clasp

Like the fawn in still of soft lie
among the grass flowing most high
From the call of the lion in wait
to the sound of still closing gate

On the wings of a dragon’s flight
circling stars in the still of night
Soaring over land ever green
reflecting a gold hue and sheen

From sun to distant shine of moon
the echoed call of crying loon
steps in sand among dunes of sea
side by side as shadows two be

The sign of words that give the fire
the heat and passions of love’s desire
A gasp, a kiss of shuddered feel
of two in now of this when real

As whispers say of song once sung
among the ring of bells in rung
Two entwined hearts will softly beat
the sound of charge and not retreat.

Magnus darling boy this is truly stunning writing. Always your words flow with hearts sighs, your voice floats through the starry skies like angels breath. And this not just soft whispers on the edge of night but it’s purely beautiful
I truly believe this is one of your best utterly utterly perfect

Absolutely excellent work
The sign of words that give the fire
the heat and passions of love’s desire
A gasp, a kiss of shuddered feel
of two in now of this when real

As whispers say of song once sung
among the ring of bells in rung

Two entwined hearts will softly beat
the sound of charge and not retreat.


You KNOW I utterly utterly love it, how do you do it time after time, well, however simply don’t stop. I love it


Love and warm stuff
As always

Mushy, darling girl....

Rest my wench, for time is nigh
to take my leave, to say goodbye
Thy chamber above in duty keep
as thy lie in wait of deep sleep

See what you made me do......

Thanx Mushy!!

Barry, this is so wonderful. It's the first poem I have read since this surgery, and glad I sat up long enough
Thank you for your beautiful poem on my posting, too.
