Orpheus

O my beloved, I hear you in my grave. R omantic notes from thy lire trickle through P proud rock now hollow from thy magic. H owI long to feel thy hand on my cold breast. E ven as I speak, they plot to kill you. U tree envy of thy mythical, poetic, prophetic skills S trenghten/ their resolve. I await you my beloved.

Beautiful, love how you reflected the tale of Orpheus in the underworld in your use of thy, adding to the age of the tale. It flows so well off the tongue and into the heart.

Great acrostic Jean. It sings, it has music AND it dances.

AND is the opposite of what Silent seeks I fear Darren. I always absorb the information given, then spit it back out as best I can. Once it's in my brain, it has to come out. It does sort of dance 'though, I must agree. Thank you.
