O, how I suffer at thy slightest touch
Pain I can accept yet this cuts too close
The dull blade sharpest held in love's firm clutch
From which the want of thee appeals the most

O agony, thy sweetest taste by far
The ripened drink born of the bitter vine
For all the ageless beauty that thou art
And the suspense of thy taste, anguish mine

O cruelest blow dealt, from a touch now faded
If only time could be captured here, now
Repair the torn apart heart now jaded
And could heal with thy soothing pain somehow

I offer up my body in this way
To receive pennance from thy touch of grace

PK, this is so beautiful, even though it is sad.
I love the way you write. It's like reading the classics.

Hugs

this is very romantic, I still can't do all those "thy" and "thou"'s yet... and it has a very sensual feel to it, if you read it that way, lol

Nay, m'lord, thy blade is dull'd from bitter tear
Now stay thy thoughts of which thou fears
for blessed be this grief once believed
for here strays this heart 'pon my sleeve...

you've been long gone,
sorely missed, and now,
welcomed home...
