Fear not this soul, nor flesh, nor blood
that waits beyond the cold stone wall.
Fear not thy dreams of wanderlust
for I dear heart, await thy call.

I stand in cloak of misted morn
upon the meadow soft and green
I wait to hear a melody
of sweet desire, of flaxen sheen.

My heart rests not within a chest
where butterflies do flit and rise
For from my soul, a love does course
and soars the star filled moonlit skies.

If but a hewn rope might fall before
my feet beneath thy window's sill.
I’ll climb my love, to touch thy hand
and taste thy wine blushed lips, I will.

And whence the dawn does cast upon
thy eyes once closed in dream swept sleep
I’ll bid thee well my love, I will
and pray the morrow’s skies don’t weep.

Sigh . . . words fail me, sigh again.

You are an incurable romantic and it makes for wonderful, uplifting poetry, the kind sighs are made of.

Magnus darling man, this is so utterly perfect, the way it wraps around my soul is simply divine, I can’t tell you how magical your writing is. Just know this that when I slip in to PiP’s I always seek out your writing, and I never fail to feel the magic you manage to conjure within my mind every single time.

Truly excellent writing, you are one amazing poet and I love your ability to write real romance.

Big and long SIGHsssssss....Magnus, she is a very lucky woman to have a love like yours...your both very very very wealthy...this reminds me of a grand love story, with so much more to share...I see you both walking on a beach, hand in hand, in the moonlight, soft waves lapping the shore and both your feet...both smiling without a thought of it....just bubbling over in a flood of understanding...

Incredible write dearheart..may love light always shine upon both of you

Words flow gently off your pen
ablaze with passionate love
Swirling around the heart
painting romantic dreams

Magnificent...a keeper if I ever saw one...Your talent will ever amaze me, dear friend...**big hugs**...
