For But A Kiss

Love poem

For But A Kiss

 

            My fairest maiden I kneel before thee. Not as a man’ child but a man I will be.  For I careth not of the sun or the heavens that surround thine house. But of the stars laced upon your bridle gown. For I layth at your mistress feet tokens of fortune.

 

Take thine hand of mortal flesh and find nor bone of substance for true love I find thee. For I lay open my heart upon you with a kiss. White Lily’s pale against you compare to the brightest rays.

 

For thine fair maiden are thou fairest of them all. Thine voice speaks of song upon a gentle wind, Thine eyes gaze upon deepest bluest sky. Thine lips soft as the rarest rose of all the land.

 

O my fairest maiden all I ask is but a kiss. Look not down upon the man ‘child, but a man. As I wait with grooms bridle for that last kiss.

Shep, I've always loved your writing. You're an amazing poet, and I admire you greatly. I think you can teach a lot to modern writers.
I've always loved the idea of bringing back old English to the world. Something about it makes everything a little more grand. I think you can definitely make it on the New York Bestseller's list.
You're an amazing writer, I love it.
Keep up the good work :)
