A poem written (hopefully) in old English…don’t worry it was all foreign to me too.

The mere whisper of thine warm breathe on thy neck

Is nearly but not quite the pull thou aspire in thy loins

How thou longed the embrace would not be the last

**

Thy humble, fervent master, much gratitude

**

Much gratitude thou bestow on thee, thy unpretentious one

O how thou long for thee to come, so thy self I can proffer

Thou flesh is but a dull substance without thine caress

The treasure of thy beauty is not forbidden to thee

Be not self-willed when it comes to thine loins

Take thee as if thy life depends, over and over, until spent

**

Thou will contentedly take thy wet seed between thy thighs

So that thou shall once again rise, rise high above

And strike to take what’s rightfully thine.

    That was fabulous Shakespearean lines, Lisa. I lost my sense of logic but I am thy servant to serve this comment. Well done.

    Lillyrose I loved this

    The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

    I know I have comments and likes on this, so why are they not here????

  • XXElleXX on Mar 28, 2010

    Old English poetry for me is saturated in romanticism :-) I’m not too familiar with the earliest stages of the English language ~ but you sure know how to express a deep human experience and make it sexy and exciting Lilyrose :-)

  • petercurtis97 on Mar 28, 2010

    I treasure the early English style and language as celebrated by great writers such as Shakespeare in his sonnets, esp 116.Loved your poem lily

    Miss L…there is something to be said about the poetic way a person gets to write and to read ye olde English…I think you did a great job in attempting to resurrect a long lost art and of course I voted that I like it…even with all the thees, thys and thous there is no mistaking the erotic message of this piece “Thou will contentedly take thy wet seed between thy thighs”…Great job…Thank you

  • jimbob1 on Mar 28, 2010

    Thou poetry caresses thy heart. Masterfully written on a seductive topic.

    “Thou will contentedly take thy wet seed between thy thighs”

    Nice one Lisa. I’m pinching the above for a chat-up line.

  • Sourav on Mar 29, 2010

    I enjoyed this poem!

  • Will Dee on Mar 29, 2010

    It is strange to read a peom from a different time and place. I did not understand everything but it was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

  • Ruby Hawk on Mar 29, 2010

    Thanks for sharing, great job.

  • zoeyclark on Mar 31, 2010

    Old English can be really cool. And I do like Shakespeare so I am used to these ancient words;)

    But it was so much fun back when I first learned English and I was having a difficult time trying to understand Metallica lyrics. It is one thing to write poems in this fashion but why a metal band would try this is really beyond me.:)

  • 8shei8 on Apr 1, 2010

    Old, new…English is English :) Well done!

  • oldster on Apr 1, 2010

    This, that, thine thee,thou – and the other, all rolled into a very self abusive poem.
    Nice work – if you can get it Lilly.hehe.

  • MJ Sunderland on Apr 12, 2010

    Very evocative language. Reminds me of Chaucer.

  • TwiKnight on Apr 20, 2010

    It’s so beautiful…

  • Kaye TM on Aug 2, 2010
