I come before thee wearing a tattered shield,
Riddled in a commencement from distant fields;
I fall upon thee to humble thy momentous grace,
And behold before you my hearts missing space.

You are the sky lit realms that rain over a glorious field,
And the beacon of my cup from whence love spills.
You are the covenant of each breath I take,
And the resident that attributes to my ascendants fate.

My love, you are the Nightwing that layeth in wait,
And the forbearance of my hearts awaiting gate.
It is in your hand that I give thee my being;
It is in our embrace that unveils the sight to my souls seeing.

Your love is a touch on the shoulder during life’s disarray,
And a surrenderment of a compelling warmth that does not stray.
Your love is the monument of a friendship in a heighten accolade,
And a testimonial tribute of a kiss before a lovers midnight cascade.
  
Give testament to me before thy feathers lair
For my heart spoils in wait of the midnight night air
I Look upon thee as my wingeth prey
For I take lift within thy wings of thy hearts stay.

Hello Jeff

Your words speak of a sacred love and romance that most of us can only dream about.  Your words took me on a wonderful journey that I didn't want to end.  This breathtaking piece would have to be my favourite of yours so far.  I have no doubt that your words have set many hearts aflutter.

He has the ability to make

The most romantic words I've read in a long time. Your poetic gift is a wonder to read.

I was going to say that I wasn't sure how long you have been here nor where you came from, but indeed, you have been around for a month....where have I been?

Thank you for making me take notice...

Your writing is unique and very romantic...

I shall be watching for you.

Hello Jeff

I also had to come back and drink in your beautiful words of love and romance.  Now that I've had my fix, I'm more than happy.

Take care.......Sue

Yep...it's official...you are destined for greatness, dear One. As glorious as all of the accolades are, they dim in comparison to your talent and skill. Simply...thank you.

A beautiful piece of writing, looks like you have all the ladies swooning here, run for cover! LOL - I am hoping you do more of these as I think I said before I love the style of your work, and it suits period writing so well.
