Thy silken words caress mine ears in wait and bring to beat this lonely heart in rise. Whence love is spoke beyond thy silver gate ‘Pon rise our sun before gold moon’s arise. Soft the feel of warmest sweet breath Sweet dream, cease not, nor yet to be His heart once held ‘neath hand ‘pon breast wherewith a wish betwixt to me. Can not thee grasp this hand in reach I give to one for whom I willed a life to hold. As treasured thoughts beyond the forest live from whence I came, my ride both long and cold. His silent thoughts sweet mingle our hearts Mine in ivy twine of his to clear this drear No fright my face shalt thus impart Nay, he wilt naught perceive this fear Till breeze of morn a whisper to the face A ride of steed shall courage bring to bear as silken gown does fall before one’s trace. Till dawn does lie upon thy softest hair Gentle sighs, sweet murm’rings to bring resolve his soul and mind, light’ning His mind to quest, his soul to ring as fear is hidden in temp’ring And whence the winds shalt bring from lips the sigh which rises from deep within a yearning bowel I wilt to you leave my soul whence I die ‘Fore the low moon is dark and wolf have howled. Now, now, this chamber bed stays bare And fear, fear of lone wolf’s stark howl For wouldst have him but once ‘gain, there, as spirit..... lost catacombs prowl |

This was interesting....I noticed the form was different from verse to verse. How come? I'm just curious, this was well written.  God bless America, my home sweet home. |

Elizabeth...it is different because it is a duet between two individuals...one who is Me me me me me!!! and one who is my muse as I call her....in reality....a poetess who desires to remain...just my muse... So, there...that is why the two styles... One is writing, and the other is interjecting their thoughts or concerns for the other... Hope that helped you understand it better... |

  (smiles) Oh Barry, I too always questioned that, and find your duets very deep as you keep this wonderful muse anonymous! (big hugggssssss) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love your style, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I see two thoughts entwined in silent speech...this is beautiful, Magnus...I am sure your muse is smiling on you! Definitely a gift you have, in finding willing poets to share your pen. Thank you for this, and please, thank your muse! |

KJ...without this muse...my words would be nothing more than mere rubbish on the floor for wiping up the tears.... She is incredibly talented and I am very appreciative of her.... |
