THROUGH THE NIGHT
Through the night
within the room in which they stayed
through the night.
The candles shed their shifting light
upon the bed in which they laid
as curtains by the window swayed
through the night.
Through the night
upon his chest her long black hair.
Through the night
as candles shed their shifting light
consumed by love they sought to share
in ecstasy in passions snare
through the night.

- Comment from author about the poem: Well here it is. I've added another stanza especially for those who asked for it. I've also slightly altered the first one so it flows with the second and to keep it more strictly to the rondelet format. Let me know what you think. ................ The painting is of a village called Saddington and was bought by someone in the States who has the same surname.

the Queens head which I have the pleasure of having a pint in once upon a long time ago. a great rendition here my friend.
Spot on Kevin - its only a 10 min drive from where I live.
I was there well over 30 yrs ago with my father looking for antiques like we used to. he is an avid collector so we travelled everywhere back then. today we have computers but you can't beat the human eye for examination. your paintings are also awesome.
Thanks Kevin - I appreciate your kind comments. 30 years ago - King Richards Road, Leicester - I guess you were a regular visitor - a lot of junk furniture but also a lot of high quality stuff as well.
if its the only one then that's it my Saddington friend.
Good write and pic M. I shall swoon with this. lol.
Swoon Swoon away - but remove the armour first
Very good write Michael and a good painting. As I may have said before mines a pint of real ale please.
It's on the bar Andy - remember to leave your shield and sword in the lobby.
This is good Michael. Thank you.
Thanks Fred
Smoothly and gently romantic - you have chose a good style for tender erotica Michael. - Great picture too.
thank you Fay - will have to put on my thinking cap if I am asked to write another verse - this could go on forever - up to geriatrics? 🙂
There it is 😊❤ Wonderful. And the picture has enabled a beautiful little vision of the setting in my mind. Another great wee stanzaaaaa 🙂
So pleased you like it - guess I don't need to write any more.
A great write
Thanks Shannon - so pleased you liked it.
