The Letter

(Inspired by the painting The Letter by Edward Antoon Portielje) In candle's gentle, flick'ring light so grand, Where secrets whispered 'cross the paper's strand, Two lovers' hearts in silent, sweet repose, A letter's words, their deepest love compose. The firelight's touch, their souls in warm embrace, In whispered moments, love's enduring grace, Her eyes aglow with tears where love bestows, A letter's words, their deepest love compose. With bated breath, they share their dreams and vow, Each syllable, a promise then and now, Their yearning hearts in every line disclose, A letter's words, their deepest love compose. Inscribed with ink, their love forever flows, Across the miles, where fond affection grows, As time stands still, their passion interflows, A letter's words, their deepest love compose.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
