Willfully my dear, most willfully I come to thee
For in thine heart I lie, resting peacefully amongst
delicate flowers blooming upon thy plain of life.

Into thine arms I fall, as would the tree, losing
grasp of the warm earth beneath  fallen snow.
Our eyes shalt fleetingly pass, giving but a small
glimpse of love, a vision shared.

I come to thee bare of past sins, my humble life
that of thine own wishes.  I bequeath to thee my
life, for now I come as thy faithful friend, a lover,
confidant...

I desireth not but one  wish.   A wish that
has lain upon these lips,  hesitant lips for
countless moons.  A wish, once granted, which
will say loudly to thee my wants,   sincere
desires.....

I wish to love thee endlessly, unselfishly
and fully.....as thy chosen lover and mate,

till our moon sets beyond the castle’s peak
                          no more....

Oh, my! I'm breathless. My bright blue eyes have now paled to a pallid green with thoughts of the intended...

You forsooth know how to turn a lovin' phrase or two!

Love and Light,

Gosh,  I already have someone,  that
has been around a long time with me,  and
neither of us are getting younger...and
sudden shifts in the game plan are not
allowed or anticipated...

Just me the old romantic picking away at the
page...is all...

Truly a masterpiece. Damn I am loving the way you write sir. They use to call me Shakespeare...but I am thinking I better take off the crown and give it over to thee. Wonderful job.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Barry, goodness, you worked me into a loss of words...and, as you know, that happens rarely.  An absolutely beautiful work of art!
