The Love Letter

My dear, 

   I shall meet thee in the summer of thy heart,

   where we once walked head to each 

   elegant upon the world....


And had not a care but for little winds of love

   winking there in the dreams of trees,

   laying upon me to so delicately,

   tickle with your autumn hair,

   always so soap-scented you


Touch me where I had not known

   the ease of such wonder in your eyes,

   splendor only for a great king ----

   but I a hopeless romantic muse,

   with little empty pockets blessed

   with thy precious petal,

   am richer than any lord!


I shall wait for thee in our golden glade,

   the heart which flows the waterfall....
   
   by the dawn of your sweet embrace,

   in the summer of thy heart,

   I shall wait....

   (Love, K)

Wow! To love that much. I have never experienced it. Perhaps I am underprivileged in the ways of love. Love your poem. Love your heart. Is it true that love only comes once in a life time? ~Kilmer

Dear Keith, It doesn't matter how empty your pockets are. Women love romantic men and few can write of romance as well as you do. How gifted you are! I don't think there is any other writer on the Soup who could weave the passion in such a moving way. Wish I was young enough to chase you! Love, Carolyn

You are such an angel Carolyn, when I have doubts in my poetic abilities I shall think of your kind words! BTW, I'm not so young.... 29 going on (47!) I also recently read your bio, so wonderful, I did not know you wrote 4 novels? Fantastic! Love always, Keith :-)

Byron awes and Shelly rails about such prose as you so effortlessly set to sail!!! A huge bravo on this write. Honor forbids me gifting it to my wife as one of my own. When it her heart would melt and returning love to me soon be shown!

Glad you enjoyed Robert, I read the classic poets voraciously; grace leads to meaning.... show --- feel, don't tell..... they've taught me many many things... As for your wife... I'm sure you can find a gem or two from your pocket! ~~~ Keith
