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
