Sanctuary By Design

Too much noise has dinned to ear, was once our perfect hearing
Weather changes, not the seasons or rapport endearing
Listen to my fingers speak, as much my heart can say
Put aside convention for the truth love must convey

Another warms the regions wired off in barbed remark
The golden ring hangs low upon a nailed oaken bark
As light was shown upon the recess of forbidden dreams
The sins that left my lips uncovered, all this friendship means

So face too with the years gone by, and stand my ground alone
Before your eyes, along the mind, caress the fields we’ve sown
To part the boughs of discontent, and enter in this way
And listen to my fingers speak the best that I could say

If not your lasting will reflect the honor there to light
Then all I ever saw before was shadows in the night
But if you meant the care made soft in rivers over time
Then by my side and enter here, this opening sublime

Let out the lion pacing jail within a den of thieves
Set free at last onto a guided path that still believes
And know me well, along the mind your soothe has taken root
Then you will see our footsteps there, light prints of fine repute

As welcome as has ever been, into this place love forged
Without the need of proven points a larger heart engorged
Then sit in more of comforts arms left mute beneath the moon
Well warm the embers of the fall, and hold me none too soon

warm wishes
as i read you here........

words of love
as the autumn embers
soon will brave the winter
as the forest
wears the fall

I think this poem flows and sounds so nice to the
minds ear that it ain't gonna make a hoot to me about
anything else...because this is great poetry...

it flows and sings and whispers secrets

Well, now ...  This is GR8!
How could I have overlooked this gem?

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
