To Bid Love Goodnight

Dost not breathe to love,
and love thee tender breath thy breathe?
I shalt not tempt thy lovely breath
to breathe upon me thy loving tenderness,
but bring with lovely breath,
thy soft spoken words from a moon lit night,
at Dusk--
before the soft night winds blow.

Telling me this blasphemous truth
I shall not try to move thy course among thy heart,
but trying with pride,
I might, disturb thy thoughts,
on this starry eve,
To caress my tender head
where many afore have spoken with those courser lips!

I tell you now, this very night,
I shall go into the darkness,
Dreary to come forth,
some unexpected light;
That I may find truth in these precious moments
That which has some relience.

Love can last a lifetime,
With thine own patience and cradeled love,
I shalt not test thee honorarble love, but perhaps wait silently for
Love
To brush upon my rosey cheek
Whispering longing words,
Simply of Love...




 "True love is like a
ghost; everybody talks
about it but few have
seen it."
La Rochefoucauld

I too could feel the longing, almost 'see' it as though it were a tangible thing.  Bravo  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

beautiful poem...I loved all the "thys" and 'thous"...i have never been able to write them in and make it work..you made it look easy! nice work.
take care, jm

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

are you a shakespeare wannabe b/c you're doing a pretty good job of conveying those intense and tragic emotions.  i see it being preformed on a stage as a monologue spoken as an aside or from a hidden place while gazing adoringly on the object of love!  i like that...when i can see or hear the poem in my head...that's awesome! good job!!!

What longing I feel.  Love the "thy, thou, thine".  Not easy to work with.

love the classic style and also the amount of emotion conveyed

 "I'm just saying
that we've mistaken one
for thousands of words,
and for that mistake
I've caused you such pain
that I damn that word."
