Lovescape.
I feel soft-sift in thine hands.
Fast as in an hourglass the drift
quickens toward intimate contact
while kisses drench an expectant skin.
I am drawn to warm Lovescape.
Fired by thy mothsilk voice I lie
wishing more to take ravished gaze
which over-rideth my maiden shyness.
I seem much given to yield.
Seared to frazzle on need's rack
fear beaten with thine ardent flame
dieth mine early resistance to passion.
I be sealed by thy fervour.
Bathed by zeal's desired flavour
and close to swoon I, my Lord, thy
court favour thus shalt soon capitulate.

As leaves repent to leave upon turn of autumnal breeze so doth reticence vacate staid and salted haunt of concealed soul passion for thee thou subject of wordy finery herefound upon screen of ungodly device.
I shall tarry here a while in contemplation of such delight as been afforded in this reading.
Forsooth innit.
Love the old style.
Ooooh - - am astounded at your deeper linguistic expressions in archaic my friend. Forsooth I wouldst array thee with grateful appreciation mine leige for such bounteous comment and pray accept my blushful cheeks for thy gracious compliment forthwith..............
Thou hast produced a fine work Fay.
I could use 'thee' and 'thou' I suppose.
I'm torn sometimes between seeming old-fashioned by using them, but maybe having maybe more rhyming choice if I did use them.
I bow to thy judgement of what be labelled fine work in my rendering of Lovescape and dear Orchi. I am inordinately thankful for thy gracious words.
'I seem much given to yield.
Seared to frazzle on need's rack
fear beaten with thine ardent flame'
absolutely beautiful!
Many grateful thanks for mentioning the phrases from Lovescape that especially appealed L.B. - - so pleased you enjoyed the read.
My Dear Poetess Fay,
You have such an affinity writing in this particular ‘archaic style’. In my humble opinion, you do it best. I do enjoy reading it very much. Your talent in writing in this particular style is laced throughout your poem “Lovescape”. The pic you chose complements the poem beautifully.
Impressive!

Am thrilled dear Laura that you like the old styles of expression as do I and have always found the archaic form brings out the best in romantic poetry.
Splendid in every respect my Lady of the pen ...
Fie to thy linguistic label of this Lady as using mere pens mine sire when she haveth the gift of a quick keyboard with which to scribble her wordlings upon - - - -- - - ( sorry just jokin' afore bedtime ) - but so many thank yous again for your welcome opinion of my take on Lovescape .............. as ever .............x
Very lovely poem 🙂🌸
