David Smalling Poet Verse

Do Not Be Coy

Do not be coy tonight my love
The jasmines delicious perfume drip
And moonlight like a feathered dove
Lingers my tongue for your honeyed lip,
Do not be coy. 
I wait your naked white of breast
Your body moaning on the floor
Where your light falls a flimsy dress
And your face all time's innocense store
Do not be coy.
It matters not that you reflect the sun
It's your beauty that light have shown
The pious candle in the clasp of a nun
The myrtle rose petal sweetly overgrown
O mistress moon
My secret lover, and constant eternal bride
My heart asparkle from this bare window
Await your bright coming to my side
The bats are abroad like a little swallow
The willow lutes a tune
Do not be coy
Do not be coy

Michael Smith April 1, 2012 at 7:33 PM I am impressed by your style of writing with a Early Modern English feel. Words written here arein chosen well and in perfect context. I think you would be a shoe in in my poetry contest To Thee I Love, adorn and Trust.
