Walk in my Bower I often walk the edge of my bower Some would call it my ivory tower. I circle inspect and never neglect Paradise, that took me years to perfect. It is here I write my sonnets of love And send them air born on a snow-white dove. The meter worded in musical verse As supple and soft as velvet purse. They are lullabies set to perfect rhyme And sent via dove at a perfect time. They are words that turn to butterfly wings When placed in the mind, they begin to sing. They’re notions of love that lap on the shore Promising Eden that women adore But it’s not my aim to claim them as mine Only to please them, build them a shrine. Their love will find them all in good grace In the proper time, in the proper place. |

...and that is the essence of true love, isn't it? Not a desire to claim, but to build up and allow them to be and experience all that life has for them. This is so very lovely, Sy! |
