Dawn’s light came to the meadow
as stooping candles flickered
and eyes gleamed.

Leaves tickling the winter’s fancy
as flakes of white fell silently
upon a meadow once green.

Till the morn of the morrow.
Till the moon gleam does wane.
Whence I come knocking, a fire
will burn with passion’s flames.

Extinguish the candles gently
a whisper once softly pled.

Yes love, I will....as each flame
turns to a wisp of rising gray,
as each wax tear freezes
the wick......I will

For lace dances before my eyes
as each mile passes into the rise
of our sun....as the throb of
my desire beats loudly within
me.....

Till the morn my love....
Till the morn..

What Sandpiper said,
so quietly...

this is gently caressing
thoughts of the night, Magnus,
a soothing write...

I shall come back before I retire
just to read once more...

With this you are the king of tender romance.  Your lady is lucky.

This poem has a comforting cadence, is enchantingly enticing, warmly welcoming, liltingly lovely, and romantically riveting.

Surely she will quiver in the breath of such deep and sensual rapture.
So many connections in these lines of gold.
Exceptional. ThisDiamond

Awww, lovely as the romantic masters of olde. Well done, Magnus, you do sweet caresses of the heart so well.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(sigh) Oh Barry, this is sooooooo beautifully sensual and romantic, sweet friend, I too always smile when I look at the snow and think of the purity, of the whitness of it, and to dream of having my Joanna holding my hand in the future and staring out that window to the winter sky brings tears to my eyes! (big huggsssssss) This is so lovely, 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,
Noah Eaton

Till the morn of the morrow.
Till the moon gleam does wane.
Whence I come knocking, a fire
will burn with passion's flames.

Extinguish the candles gently
a whisper once softly pled.

Yes love, I will....as each flame
turns to a wisp of rising gray,
as each wax tear freezes
the wick......I will
==================================


well ya knew the moth had to fly in this flame.

this is LOVELY Barry...wonderful imagery, phrasing and romantic intend...

the "wax tears" is an awesome image and personification!!
very cool poet sir.!!

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

Hello Barry

You know how much I love your words of love and romance and once again I have been swept away by your exquisite words.

Take care.......Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Wow!  All of you amaze me with the wealth of
warm words given to me....I guess that we
all have things in our lives we enjoy and
dream of...sometimes capturing in our
realities....

Thanx very much to you all...
