Trust me, I hath said to thee
for thou art thy keeper of mine soul
Believeth me, I beg in most humble plea
as I lie before your tender feet

Sweet, this missive of his desire
Complete, rounding of the fire
Replete, yet he would lift me higher
Sweet, this missive of his desire

Loveth me if thy wilt, thy may
If not, let me love thee in recluse
for I wilt ‘main most true to thee

That he loves, perhaps
Tenderly he gained my heart
Mayhap, he loved well

Leave thy own heart within my hands
to covet and cherish to my death
Leave thy whispers 'pon my ears
till steel of war takes my last breath

Dear Lord, hear thee this, his lonely heart
Thy sacred vows he did impart
That only by death we would depart
Dear Lord, hear thee this, his heart

And, whence I’ve left thee for my rest
‘neath the earth of greatest oak tree
Leave a rose of yellow ‘gainst my stone
And keep in thine heart….my memory...

Ah, his missive to my bosom pressed
And here, where he now rests
Will lay his carpet of roses blessed
For by his love, I remain, possessed

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Barry, you always write love so well in so many different snapshots and perspectives, though I dream so much of love you always teach me so much more about its mysteries through it as I grow on to understand it more, even after death! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is a very lovely duet, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Ah, Good Knight, thee hast found yet
one muse more by which to entertain all...
and did she, Sire, promise then,
to amuse you once again, on yet another eve?

Yes, M'lady,  of sun and moon
she promised would, very soon
Her words a whisper to an ear
Her thoughts pure and  clear

And whence the moment arrives
to write and share a word
I know she will,  she thrives
to fly beside where she's heard.

Magnus darling heart this bears your mark of superior quality, you wander through my mind making yourself known to the traces of me that you encounter. And if somewhere in the silence of the moons soft sigh you hear my reply I find you answer with just the right words. Do I love this? You KNOW the answer to that darling man don’t you………… it is of course I love it utterly.

Goodness that is a beautiful piece from you, and don’t reply goodness has nothing to do with it, because that is my line

I love it when you write like this, it is without doubt what you are superb at, that you also manage to converse with your muse so apparently effortlessly is outstanding, I love it utterly utterly utterly love it

The wench is coming ........... probably tomorrow


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 earthquake wind and fire

Mushy Darling Heart....my muse,  as I so
aptly call "her"....is but one of you who
desires to be as "SHE" is.....a mysterious
woman of remarkable talent.....

To her,  my muse,  I am deeply grateful for
the opportunity to have her accompany me
in this endeavor.....

i found myself catch my breath at this stanza, it left me pondering much

a beautiful write, a talented quill


a pleasure to read you, sir

Loveth me if thy wilt, thy may
If not, let me love thee in recluse
for I wilt ‘main most true to thee

That he loves, perhaps
Tenderly he gained my heart
Mayhap, he loved well

Your muse must be smiling
at the tender lain within
