(64) Irish Maiden I Dream Of Thee

Why am I in love with thee?

My fair maiden, so far, awaits;

I crave to feel thy sweet kiss,

To taste those tender of lips.

Embrace the heart in thy breast;

Hold thee close to my body.

To never to let you go.

We will make love on this night;

When we visit together in our dreams.

Thy gentle hearts touches my soul;

For if reality I will be without ye,

Then from this dream let me never awake.

the tone is very well placed but if you are going to use an "irish" or old english style continue with it throughout the poem; now you have a combination of modern and old enligsh perhaps a touch of the "irish" way of speaking english but overall this piece is very sincere and perfect with the content :)

Perfect! I love reading this kind of poems. The old English is there and is very passionate and heartfelt as well. You can really feel the emotions that flow in every line. You did a very good job here :)

A poem written with the style of old. I like the kind and gentle emotion of the love and it rewards. A very strong ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.

"For if reality I will be without ye,
Then from this dream let me never awake." This line was so reminiscent of some Shakespeare:) (In a good way by the way)

The tender tone you apply to the piece compliments the subject matter and hits base. Absolutely beautiful and appropriate. She'd melt after reading this. Well put my friend...a touching read here!
