A Reflection of Love

How I longeth for thee and never have i to have found
for there truly can be none more fairer than thou
thine alone is a beauty to behold
in so hath that it doeth surpasses my sight
for me to look within your radiant eyes 
to sink beneath thy passion into that of your romantic realm 
alas therefore my darling it is the kingdom of the heart 
the place i desire to dwell
as from the moment of our embrace that i will not forsake 
even the memory of a reflection captured thereupon the lake 
by that of a silvery moon
for a warm summer breeze flowed through your hair
as the aroma of your perfume did fill the air
and i kissed you upon the lips and they did taste 
with that of the sweetness of honeydew
and so whispered i in your ear by the breath of my voice
gentle words of sensual pleasure and delight
for you are more delicate than the petals of a flower 
even to the touch of softness upon your neck
therewith blushing roses above on your cheeks
for our lives are like that 
of two turtle doves taken to flight
as we move through the motions to dance through the night                                              
to that of a sonata of a lovers tune
this is how much i cherish you

A beautifully tender and heartfelt piece, John. Warm subtle imagey, almost dreamlike, yet still vividly alive. Your muse, most certainly a Valentine cherub, whilst you penned this verse. A smooth flow that runs through the entire poem. First poem I opened this morning, a pleasant start to anyone's day! Blessings, and wishing the best to you. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us!! With love, Mikki
