evening romance

I have been writing poems for anniversary announcements on myfamily.com .This site is Fifties Harlandale High School members
One of the members makes up the card and I provide the poem. This poem is for a member who looks at the site ,but never comments. He is described as a very quiet individual. I was fantasizing that beneath that quiet exterior was a raging romantic! LOL Here is my poem for his anniversary of 37 years.

Evening Romance
by Kenny merrell

We sit, quietly, in light conversation
Evening romance at dinnertime
If I but had the words to tell you
Of such a love as mine
Oh wondrous face of starlight beauty
Pale luminescent tune
Faint pale light in glorious presence
Held safely to a lofty gloom
What matters beauty in softly wrinkles
How glorious in summertime swoon
In nighttime lunacy forever
Howling loudly at the moon
Barking fourth a love which
Naught else matters
Save lasting fortunes to in tale
Only tales of midnight fancy
Brought about by windy gale
Silence, silence, silence,
Calls quietly from inside
Only thoughts in mind of
Temperate lofty manner
Feelings so intense I cannot hide
Be still, be still
Soft beating heart
Heap praise upon
This wondrous personage
Of lovely mien
Sit still, sit still, pay homage
Until time ceases forever and
Oceans still their raging tide
Let not the ravages of nature
Remove you ever from my side
Just thoughts revealed
In contemplation
Sanity returning in awhile as
We sit, quietly, in light conversation
Evening romance at dinnertime

Due to circumstances beyond my control I haven't been by in quite some time. But oh, lucky me when I saw all the beautiful poetry waiting for me.

Thanks my friend, for sharing your gift with all of us. :-)
