Sands of time in flow of glass
through hearts of love in moments pass
Beyond the walk of life and light
of visions in the stars of night

Two walk alone into the dream
of flowing falls and crystal stream
to share one kiss for all of time
a mome’ of bliss serene, sublime

Taken to be of one chance two
into the walk of sky in hue
To live and laugh and whisper tell
beyond the light of crack in bell

To give what gave and give yet more
as love in life dances the floor
A whisk and swish and twirl delight
for lasting mem’ry of one night

Listen to a sigh caress the ear
Listen well darling, precious dear
Love me ever, as I do you
Love me ever, ever so true.

Magnus darling heart and keeper of dreams guises, this is spectacular writing. The type of writing that takes you into the very heart of it and holds you captured and spell bound until the last word. Writing such as this is too fine, too rare to be tossed aside carelessly, or read too quickly in haste. Writing such as this must be allowed to sink into the soul of the reader and settle like a mantle over the spirit. Imparting wisdom, sharpening the senses and giving the soul such wonder, such thoughts, that they inspire, and stir that place within.

Okay this isn’t a novel so I’ll finish rhapsodising, and simply say this has been written with pure skill, and yes I utterly utterly love it.

I wub you beloved sister

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Good evening Lady Lyra,  yes,  I do enjoy
twisting the words around a little bit,  
seems to make the cadence work better for me
in some lines....

Thanx, hugs and hope you are well....

Yep,  she does....I bribed her into doing it.
Now I am going to have to crank up the
poetry machine and crank out some more poems
for her to collect....Wonder if she knows
how to do a search and read archived posts?

Oh Msflame.....are you there??????
