Love, you flutter my soul as lungs ache
feverishly to drench you softly with my mind’s
caress...my devotion....The heavens....I leave
to you.

For her, he wrote...


Oh give to me the drench of dawn
the windblown trees of love in bloom
The tender eyes of morning’s fawn,
a warming fire to bright one’s room.

Oh leave to me the tethered sail
beyond the lee of windward shore.
The morning brew before the mail,
a simple thought of one’s adore.

As love does leave the smattering
of hearts engulfed in lover’s fire
A journey’s walk shall ever sing
upon the pluck of lover’s lyre.

And as a shadow lies the sill
before the door does softly close.
I say to you, I will, I will
Is you my love, my eyes have chose.

For beauty lies within my fair
amongst the garden’s roses red.
And there I’ll lie to brush one’s hair
till dawn leaves quietly my stead.

Sealed....the envelope lay quietly upon the mantle.
Her name delicately penned upon...awaiting her
eyes....as a porch swing swung lazily and
night briefly kissed the moon’s soft song,
beyond the window’s sill...

You know, don't you, Poet...
that this is a love that could go on,
well,
for a lifetime...

boy, are you carving your work out for yourself, or what?

Ah, I've been gone and now I see I shall have to catch up on that which has passed me by.  This is most lovely, dear Sir.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
