------ quiet-one ------

A year or more of gentle talk

with One, a Friend, who would not stalk

or Hunt the Darkening chambers

and privily came she to Him

and gently spake the Man within

revealing so herself to Him

a moment shared -- H/heart's Dialogue

and moments added -- clear of fog

distortions had no place therein

for where H/hearts meet can be no Sin

and T/two who would have seperate been

within each O/other Passion seeing

and thusly Love's Expressions met

while H/hearts and Souls will not forget

that Love's Own Ways will make the Path

where T/two now O/one may safely tread

without the fears or mortal dread

that come within this shaded world

and leave so many shattered, burned

forsaken where they had but yearned

as those who seek to Love Well must

who stand within Emotions'dust

where others who have trod the Path

have erred and caused Emotions' death

Eventually, she His became

for there was kindled mutual Flame

desiring H/hearts won't be Denied

and L/lover's seek the sated sigh

the caress`ed V/voice of O/one's B/beLoved

that has in ways of Passion moved

how joyous thus the Union made

that grew from in this world of shade

His joy in her quiet dignity

her pleasure in the sanctity

of ancient bond and Heart Well-Proved

thus showing that there can be Love

in shaded worlds and lighted too

for H/hearts will do as H/hearts they must

and breathe the Love instead of dust.
