        One Forever-Thread

Just beyond the crimson sunset
and a deep velvet-blue twilight,
when the moon is a silver lantern
hung upon an infinite tapestry of
  tremulous stars,
would that I might write the
grandest poem ever done,
with a magic Phoenix feather
  pen,
that would rise and sail
far above this grasping
  world of men,
to touch the heart of one
who lives now only in my
  finest dreams;
then somehow, it would
make all the difference,
and bind two hearts in love
with one forever-thread.

I'm very much liking the sensitive "Phoenix feather" which writes such warm, savory poetry.

While perhaps not looking, you've stumbled upon an ear along the deep forest path.

well ... that's certainly grand! ... I have MANY 'critics' who claim I write nothing but
"Happy, smarmy Romanticism that amounts to nothing more than pseudo-sentimental
syrup-dipped tripe" as one of them put it.  I strongly disagree with him; however, that
was really rather good writing on his part!

I'm not an apologetic defender of anything I write SHDP. But I staunchly defend anyone's right to do so!

Its a certainty that the unforgettable "critic" that badgered your wonderfully penned poetry was of high station and breeding with no need of accolades or applause.

I wish I knew as much about poetry as [s]he did.
