Intent on Love

Oh the veil that shrouds your soul
That fancy fringe that follows the fray
and flows freely  from place to place
It dangles just out of my grasp
My pursuit to rent this arras from your heart evades me
Just as your essence allures me
Could I with word or deed draw you in,
Would you take a smile as proof of my intent

Goodness, Cherrie!
Who could possibly say no to such a lilting, softly-irresistible, entreating voice. 🎶

Sheer romantic sensuality oozes from every word, to weaken the most determined resolve.
I love a love poem, and one can easily grasp how intent this sizzlingly tender verse truly is.

Enchanting, Cherrie, amorously so … my kind of poetry! ⁓ Richard 🍃

:) I don't know what else to say except for thank you on such a generous review, that may have made me blush just a bit.

[Richard🖌]

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you so much, I had been listening to some poetry from the 1800 and wanted to try my hand at the sound of it.

Some people are veiled more thickly than others and that adds to their allure. Having said that, a warm and welcoming smile almost always works. A beautiful poem on intent.

[Cherrie Palmer]

a smile sets it off,sets the stage for a journey

[Cherrie Palmer]

It really is that simple.

[wordman]

i know,you`re right

[Kent Rawski]

In seeking
a greeting
from a heart
whose permanence
is only fleeting
ador must open
A glimpse of heaven
an innocent pure smile
might suffice

[Cherrie Palmer]

:) we can only hope
And. Good morning Kent

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cherrie... so glad you mentioned in the reviews that
the photo depicts the "Light in the Hem of His Garment".
I believe there is a song about touching the hem of his garment.
I found your poem very touching and true to life when we have
Intentions of romance that are tender and vulnerable. truly, Pat

[Cherrie Palmer]

Tha non k you Pat, and yes I too love the photo. Thank you for the review, I have been reading from the 1800s and wanted to try my hand at the sound they hold.
