A Bloom Most Noble

The forest moves with its mystic mood,

   enchanted for the creaking tune

   of trunks and boughs in wind,

   sing some birds in spring

   wild with a learned need;

Once the snow had filled

   all warmth sown in darkly pockets,

   too thick for footfall

   and wind gusts upon wings,

   shaking earth with its plight

   of iced-glazed tide,

   now light,

   is nearer as a lover in tender caress;

The core of the world hopeless

   to begging romance,

The waltz of soft warmth from

   sylvan-spring suns,

   blue with hearth the sky,

   and budding the path

   for the little man, 

   simple in his simple pleasure;

Need only of balmy breeze,

   and she many more things

   in her university,

   of neg-lege moods,

   walking in her windy ways.....

Sitting upon the lap of his heart,

   and babes to bare 

   in the simmering spring;

To love kissing truth (holy procreation)

   blooming melded as white-on-snow,

   melted for unstoppable glow,

   of hearts to hold,

   dear as tear-speckled gold,

   and the dapples of dreams;

In old age the pitter-patter of feet

   to relieve the lonely, brooding day ----

   but the bright of children's eyes,

   and the laughter in the skies

   (sing as some birds in spring)

   when all the world is blooming

Dear Keith, Your poetic voice creates magical descriptions of nature. It is such a joy to read your words. I am truly captivated. Perhaps one day we should attempt a co-write. You provide so much inspiration! Love from your fan, Carolyn

So sweet to say Carolyn, my, my --- I would love to one day co-write with you, it would be an honor! My time is a little busy at the moment; I'm working on a semi-short romantic epic set during the French Revolution, it will likely be in 4-5 parts, once I make some good progress on it, perhaps we can co-write together on some piece of inspiration! Love always, Keith

we are all hopeless when it comes to the enchantress known as romance. Still as we suckle at her breast our spirits take flight and our futures are born. The next generation will continue to pay her homage and the slavery of our hearts will set us free.
