No shame in love

Love is everything. Everything is love.

                        No shame in love

(Received some motivation from Ben Jonson)

I confessed to the lonely moon, how beautiful and magnificent you are.
I told the stars and the sky you have seized my heart and thoughts.
You beautiful smile had bewitched my life.

I dream of you when we are apart.
My fair maiden I feel I have fallen into a undeserved love.
I plead with open arms and heart.
You will accept me. My simple words to be my pledge of love for you forever.

Beautiful maiden whispered. There is  no shame in love. My dear lover.
Our subdued love had me madly waiting for you to confirm the mercy of
the gift of love. Love is rare and precious.  You have assured me often with kind
gifts of poetry and many slow dances. You didn't overstep boundaries and
allowed me to gain  confidence and be fearless in the emotion of love.
 
The moon and stars shined bright as two people danced near the peaceful Monterey bay.
Love was alive and could not extinguished by the restraints of life borders and highways.

First off and is not the first writing I read from you I am always amazed by your relationship to nature and by that I don't mean only trees and plants but the nature of all things it is as if you have silence and therefore a view onto things that normally evades some of us. Confessing to the lonely moon then is both metaphorical and reflective. Then as the reflection shimmers the image of a maiden comes about. As we finally discover that the moon is shining upon a relationship that bears no bounds and spares efforts to be found.

Enchanting!

Thankyou

Beautiful write, CP. In such short piece, you were able to express the emotions of people in love. sometimes we fell we don't deserve the love of another person because of our imperfections, we feel that the other person deserves better. what we fail to realize is that love looks beyond our flaws.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right Gabielle. Love should make us feel honored to be able to know true love.

One little thing -- second last stanza, confidence instead of confident.:)

This kind of confession is that which brings hearts together- the beauty of the woman, the gift of love, poetry, slow dances and respect one for the other.........ah such a time should be alive for eternity! I love all of your words of romance and love!!

Thank you Ed. The long walks, talks and slow dancing become the best times for us with age.

I confessed to the lonely moon, how beautiful and magnificent you are.
I told the stars and the sky you have seized my heart and thoughts.
You beautiful smile had bewitched my life.

I can't begin to tell you how much I like this one. The poem combines all the best elements of story and song to woo.

Thank you Pryde. Ben Jonson words always make me wish to lived when romance and love was needed.
