My Beloved

The sweet bells hung upon the soft woven air The streams in recite and the cold plucked tear From your pure brown eyes, softly as you wept As the tides draw nigh and then you crept Into pleasurable my arms, my shy sweet rose Sobered on my swooning breast and as close As the purpl'd flowers among slender leaves Buried upon earths golden rest and then these Amorous eyelids aglow with night and beams Would in trembling passion praise your being As if surrender'd to a magnificent glow That the celestial stars has lipped below As tho' embers of God's sacred light proceeding Had embalm'd your form in sweet holiness As tho' the love light of Venus warmly kissed Your divine royalty, your apple plumm'd lips As a sacred adornment, jewel'd to this world To silhouette my heart with love's nectar'd beam That dissolves reality into an enchanted dream As desires erupt, with love's most flight'd wings To purge swift this heart that tightly clings To the sorrowing days of love's defeat In tears and in anguish obsolete But with sacred charms, splendored as a rose Like Zephyr winds of harmony, my lover blows Love, peace, joy and passion's flame Yet love became a fire, when you recite my name.

The word smooth is seldom used when it comes the romantic poetry but in this case it is a good way to explain your work, it flows thus smooth and delicately woven as if water feeding the stream of love. well done here my friend enjoyed it alot.. I will visit again and drink deeply from your river of expression. cheri
