The Arrival
60The Castle
The Lover Returns
From my lofty rooftop porch
The merry throng I do espy
Winding up past chapel - church
On stair-stepped paveway, hue and cry ...
The village joy resounds about,
As you break free from common crowd
And run to meet me with a shout !
Then tumble I from zenith chair,
Careening down each castle stair -
My thudding footsteps mock my heart,
Falling never far apart...
On cedar sprouting lawn we meet,
Bedazzled by each other’s gaze,
You leap, with nimble, satined feet,
Into the arms of my embrace,
And plant your fervent, fiery kiss
Upon my neck, my cheek, my lips.
Such long awaited bliss is this!
Love Story

Taylor Swift song sung by a beautiful girl, who still believes in true love. Ignore the fact that it has had so, so much air-time. Christian and Jewish lads and lasses, substitute Messiah for Romeo, and yourself for Juliet, and the devil for her dad.

Make that 150 years. I may be an old codger, but I've always appreciated the classics, even as a young man.
Poets haven't written like this in over a hundred years!
Wow! Beautiful! Your wife must have been thrilled by this lovely poem.
I was wondering how you got your photo to have that dreamy effect.
I wrote this for my wife, in June of 1997, while I was in the US Navy, on liberty, during a 6 month deployment. It was inspired by a visit to the Castell de Belverre, in Palma , Mallorca. The photo is of the Castle, in Taunton, England. I exposed it today, using my HTC Touch HD cellphone camera, and mangled it through PhotoImpact 8 for all my wonderful present and future fans. Love y'all!
