The Darling Knock

What kisses shall she send me tonight? how sweet, and swift her love.... with waltz's late with wanton moods, Though I might not be there, I feel her every move, oft late in afternoon.... When some lovely in day reminds of my little Goddess; then pangs of longing, so empty to not feel her breath upon my soul, so far, to hold.... And lavish her with a servant's zeal ---- what wasted time without her.... and worry a world of danger, To protect her from some blaspheme against her beauty; Yet upon the rising moon (I shall hear that knock) most glorious a sound as I have heard! she in my doorway, swift with love.... eyes of afternoon and midnight perfumes.... she of bright stars and rainbow hues (and more lovely than the dawn)

Dear Keith, I love the way you can "feel" her presence even when she is not around. I can relate to that. And the way you describe her with "eyes of afternoon and midnight perfumes" is so sensual and passionate. Again you amaze me, my friend! Another fave. Love, Carolyn

Thanks Carolyn, yes I try to write in spirit, I think this is where much passion comes from writing; a friend said I'm good with 'essences,' thanks for the other compliment you made to arthur on this piece as well I try..... Always, Love~~Keith

Hi Keith, When I read this I too think of Shakespeare , The last time I had a knock on my door, she too was a beauty, she was also a bailiff !! This is an A7 Keith another absolutely excellent write!

Indeed, Arthur. Keith writes like he is from the British Romantic Period. His style is constantly so unique and such a pleasure to read.
