My love..

As each flower blooms, my love of thee grows.  
As each dawn arrives, my eyes see thy beauty beside me.
Breezes off the moor carry to me thy pleasurable fragrance.  Clouds above
bring to mine eyes  your flowing hair, your face.
The sun of day glistens from your eyes as the gold of sunset
matches the flow and color of your hair..  

Rains fall as do my tears.  Tears that flow ever endlessly
till thy heart touches mine.  Tears of brine that sprinkle the earth ‘neath my feet.
Tears that streak a tired and weary face.  Tears of love.

Each step brings thee closer to mine arms.  
Each beat of my heart a mere echo of thine own.
Blood of my veins course a raging stream of desire.  

My hunger can only be quelled by thy tenderness, thy touch.  
By thy whispered word of now, of more..  

Lie in wait my love, my lady, one most fair.  
For I ride the night to be with thee.  
My steed spurred on by yet his own wants.  
Each of us battle weary, worn...  

Only a vision of thee keeps mine energies flowing,
keeps desires of thee ever strong.

Moon of my heart sets slow
Moon of my night rides well
Eve of my wait is nigh
Of this love, thee I tell.

Magnus darling boy each time I read the magic of your words I wait, just a pause, a mere heartbeat, to see if the magic will still work and it does darling boy it does.

The veil of delight that you cast over my soul settles over me and again I’m swathed in the silk of your words. They entwine themselves around my soul, decorating, clearing the soul’s vision and revealing the beauty once more.

Thank you darling boy this is as ever utterly utterly perfect I love it utterly


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Excellent poem Magnus, I especially like the
way you use your words to create a kind of
old style feeling along with your wit and
ingenuity.

Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky.

Barry, this is wonderful. The last stanza in particular felt so good to me.
