Duet

The purity of song is your glad grace, you beautify the air with sweetest tone, competing with the lark (more commonplace), yours is true melody, second to none. Blessed and bewitched whene'er you serenade, the roses bow their heads in mute acclaim, the creatures of the field, of every glade attune their dance, rejoicing in your name. So joyful are the times we are as one, your practicing your art, I learning how to blend with you, two sweethearts with one song, in harmony for life, our sacred vow. for music is the source of joy and bliss, concluding in the sharing of a kiss.

I've seen you around the boards, Keith, but I don't know if I've ever clicked on your page, or really read your poetry. This is a wonderfully worded sonnet, with easy-going language. I especially like this section here, "the roses bow their heads in mute acclaim, the creatures of the field, of every glad attune their dance, rejoicing in your name." Very poetic to exalt the splendor of your loved one.
