Come to me my beloved, save me from life's brutalities, so this heart can soften - sparkle like a million fireflies. For you hold the light to illuminate my soul. For you are the ceremony and I the dance. As you come near, I'll spin like a mad man, dancing in the rain. If to touch you is a sin, then I am a sinner, yearning to sin till my last breath. If to hold you, means to lose everything, then I will live as a penniless man, rich within the luxuries of your affection. If to love you is a crime, then I am a criminal, lock me away and dispose of the key, chain me within the chambers of your heart. If this is my last poem, then let these words become spirits, sleeping within the sacred sanctuary of your supernal soul. Silent One Simple Musing 5 January 2019

Such a passionate quill spill of overflowing love, SO! Delving into the vault of your vast poetic musings is a transcendent joy. The intense passion of your chaste vow everlasting is so beautiful to feel w/a virgin look-see. (If to hold you, means to lose everything, then I will live as a penniless man, rich within the luxuries of your affection.) This poem is so romantically haunting. Time and space, nor even death can pulse separate two soulmates. Love and more love always.

S O my friend, you never cease to amaze me with your extreme talent. I read this to my wife and her response was, "that's poetry"! She is absolutely right. Oh, to have a third as much real poetic finesse. Thank you for such a great write.

If this was your last poem..I would come and read it every day...because such a beautiful poem this is.It speaks of how deeply love can go...Love risks so much...some say Love risks more than it is worth. But I'd say to find Love.It is worth everything.....even losing so much at times..Fantastic post.

I really like how you did this theme. One of your best works, Silent One. I felt so silly when I clicked on the number one poems for your last contest and realized you did not specifically ask for one liners. Anyway. I do love the one liner contests!! I need to read directions better though.
