Thanks Jane. I was blessed to be able to write these things, a rich wave of inspiration for sure. Probably haven't written a better poem since.

will i think of this as all of my days
dissolve in this affection
and let my fears now sleep in your protection?

says it all... its lovely, its achingly beautiful... its perfect

There are twelve poems in total, these two the centrepiece and quite possibly the two most intensely lovelorn I've ever written.

"I fall unhindered and am gathered
I relent and breathe discovered"

are maybe my favourite lines about love I've ever written : )
