“I Could Not”

Yet, even though I had so much to say,
I could not, should not, would not, write today.

For though I know my heart was all a glow,
I could not, should not, would not, let it show.

I saw her standing in the gold moonbeams.
I could not, should not, would not, end the dreams.

She sang to me and set my soul aflame.
I could not, should not, would not, be restrained.

I held her in my arms so close to me.
I could not, should not, would not, set her free.

Because I long to hold and love her so,
I could not, should not, would not, let her go.

She is a lucky lady to be held in such a way Sir Kenneth.  Nicely done, softly smiling, and very much, enjoyed.

I especially enjoyed the following lines:

~ "For though I know my heart was all a glow,"

~ "I saw her standing in the gold moonbeams."

~ "She sang to me and set my soul aflame."

~ "I held her in my arms so close to me."

~ "Because I long to hold and love her so,
I could not, should not, would not, let her go."

Ooops! It appears that all of the lines are my favourites!
