In bright of sun and dark of moon
from love of one whose heart’s in swoon
to touch the ray’s soft light in quest
thy love of thee doth never rest

Upon the flame of heat’s demise
Tis love once spry which withers, dies
Two hearts in beat now fade and go
as embers dark burn not in glow

When feathers of flight come for thee
on crystal wings of ice born scree
Out of the soul gleam of eyes fled
down path untried aside life’s bed.

‘Gainst time and breath and life once old
one love now past in mem’ry hold
Embraced the bones ‘pon withered breast
of aged love no longer stressed

Into the brown of earth and soil
blood of vein doth not flow or boil
till love again conceived at birth
and ember’s glow ‘gain warms the earth.

(big hugggssssss) This felt sad when I read it, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all who face this experience and yearn for love again as memories lay like skeletons before them! (sad sigh) This is very emotionally powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, you truly are our wonderful resident Modern Shakespeare! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

...and truth, through souls, should live again,
by worth of life, a soul lives, then
a birthing of love is formed just when
the light gleams bright in your eyes, again...

Magnus darling boy Oh my goodness! This is sooo amazing, the flow of this as always is perfect, the rhyme is utterly divine. It’s a sad piece which you do brilliantly, the ache inside fairly echoes in the hollows of a heart. How do you do that so well? Well whatever you do you write beautifully

Love this I absolutely love it


Love and warm stuff

Whence gleam doth come to grace the eyes
upon thy ground beneath a life, lies
The beat of heart within soul shall be
as strong as mighty winds, waves of sea.

Till sea and wave are beyond the crest
of storm and gale beating 'pon thy breast
Mine heart and mind shall lie yet still
in wait of words of dark pen 'pon quill.

Thanx KJ...glad you enjoyed...
