Returneth Home
A low hush upon my heart signals
remembrances of thou
gifted friendship which healeth my heart
and cast my soul to heaven
like adoration's scented petals
inhaled deeply by nostrils
for even as I pursued others
your eyes dreamt of day and night
for thou was the one they were compared
all but one fell short of you
then, and now, you possessed my thoughts
realms of my heart longed for thou
for there are those who yield the body
yet give neither soul nor heart
their love a pittance compared to yours
where body is guarded well
thou giveth freely of heart and soul
returneth I of my roots
roots which are intertwined of our hearts
destiny, compost of soul
for thou are where my soul belongest
of you is committed love
for such; do I now returneth home

WOW
I love this one too.. nice work dear !!!!!! -
I love how each line seemed only natural after the one before...
everything seemingly fell into place just beautifully. Of course, I'm certain much thought went into writing it, and I don't intend to undermine your labors or talent, but your poetry seems so natural, almost effortless.
You have an incredible talent for creating warmth and feeling with your words.
I am (as I'm sure everyone else would be as well) drawn to this, to your contagious positive vibe.
I also like your ability to write in "archaic" language.
Impressive, dear friend.

Filled with beauty and meaning...
I felt the language variation added to the romance.
And that which never lets go of our heart will always remain home. Blue

Hi my lovely grandpa
I can’t believe now I’m reading your great works. I was too busy for so many of my favorite things but summer is a good time to drown in the waves of friends’ feeling by reading their works. Such a nice poem like always.
Thank you for sharing with us

Ah, the flowers of love cast up into the air and petals fall at our feet for enjoyment of the beautiful scent!

That woman looks mighty frightened and out of place. I don't like all the "eth" add-ons I think they are unnecessary, makes you seem like your trying too hard just my oppinion. I still loved the imagery you screamed through the page in this poem. Very wonderful message you gave. I took it freely, and unbiast. Beautiful...

Oh I can very much relate to this!very well written and almost as if you took the words right out of my heart for a very special male friend that I just recently found again after 27 years!

This is beautiful! It was very hard to pick a favorite verse but this was the one that stood out!
for even as I pursued others
your eyes dreamt of day and night
for thou was the one they were compared
all but one fell short of you
then, and now, you possessed my thoughts
realms of my heart longed for thou
