Topic: Valentine (05/16/05)
Your delicious phantasy of love
Embraced my heart, and truth
Danced to the magical,
Incantatory throbbing
Of my spirit’s symphony!

Sentimental and serene,
Sweet, silky and silent,
True love, deep, constant,
Tempered in the fires of desire
And the ashes of frenzied feelings,
Rises from searing, scattered
Flames of self-consuming passion,
Glowing like a thousand diamonds!


Unrestrained joy, fleeting delight,
Delicious dreams waltzed to the
Enchanting rhythms of tempting desire,
Stray in the bay of disillusion!

Deep within my innermost being,
Threads of ebullient emotions,
Weaving immaculate images of
Effervescent ecstasy, recall the
Memory of love drifting desperately
On the shifting sands of surly sentiments!

Then, redemption comes, a whisper
Of benediction to my aching, healing
Heart, while love sings its sweet song
With wonderful words wrapped in
Suave, silky, sibylline sounds.

My soul is aglow now with grace
And hope, as my light, tender heart
Exults in the precious, balmy warmth
Of your serene, shining adoration!

This is marvelous, Keith. So eloquent, layered and nuance filled. I loved phrases like: 'Tempered in the fires of desire
And the ashes of frenzied feelings,
Rises from searing, scattered
Flames of self-consuming passion,
Glowing like a thousand diamonds!' They encpsualte the whole gamut of a relationship in so few words! I'm reminded of John Donne's poems to Ann when I read romance poetry like this. I sure hope you have some one special to share it with!
