(64) Irish Maiden I Dream Of Thee

Why am I in love with thee?

My fair maiden, so far, awaits;

I crave to feel thy sweet kiss,

To taste those tender of lips.

Embrace the heart in thy breast;

Hold thee close to my body.

To never to let you go.

We will make love on this night;

When we visit together in our dreams.

Thy gentle hearts touches my soul;

For if reality I will be without ye,

Then from this dream let me never awake.

the tone is very well placed but if you are going to use an "irish" or old english style continue with it throughout the poem; now you have a combination of modern and old enligsh perhaps a touch of the "irish" way of speaking english but overall this piece is very sincere and perfect with the content :)

[Hatchling]

Thy gentle heart touches my soul is my favorite line. she is a very lucky gal.

[Lilly Negoi]

this sounds like a minstrel song to me :)

[Ashley]

very romantic. she is a very special someone indeed.

[Maggie]

This speaks of love, obviously, but I wish somehow it could be deeper...a lovely present for your beloved, however.

[Hayley]

I loved the feel of this of this poem. I am always a fan of the old fashioned language, and you certainly nailed it. It's very sweet and romantic, although simple. Fantastic!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I like the old fashioned nature of this poem. The intentions where straight forward, but still romantic. Nice one man...

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Ah! What a sweet dream........and a lovely poem!

[.:Arianna:.]

Stunning poem,Chris. It is that power we have to be able to dream of whatever we want and break all boundaries in them, that sometimes we just want to dwell in them forever, ever-peaceful, together with the ones we most long for. Great write !

[Althelia Marie Caine]
