--- I NEED YOU MOST OF
ALL ---
Come Dance a while
with me tonight,
The moon and is up
and calling you
To meet me at the
waterfall.
Rise up and walk
toward holy light;
The time of love's
sweet rendezvous
Is near –
And I need you
most of all~
Come; hold me even
for an hour
And loose those
bonds fettering you -
More, binding me
since you went away -
And be released by
Heaven's power
To kiss me once
beneath the moon;
And until the dawn
perhaps you'll stay~
I've missed you
every day since then
When you were
called to another shore,
Leaving me to face
the days alone -
And I've not once
danced again
Nor will I, if I
forever more
Stand as one where
two of us had been.

---COME TO ME ---
(An impending visit )
Suggested by a poem
by Nikhat Bano
My door is open
for you tonight
That you can look
until daylight;
More than a
glimpse, I'll let you see
Every breathing
part of me~
You think my
love's not meant for you,
That we should
never rendezvous?
I will, my
darling, if you come,
Show clearly
you're the only one~
To share divinely
such comely grace;
Reverent moments
of your face
Shedding mercies
from your eyes
And breathing on
me paradise~
Yes, visit,
please, this forlorn soul.
Come to me and
make it so
That all the scars
of time will fade
Into the evening
of your shade –
And we will walk
the hallowed halls
Of love forever as
it calls.
Just come to me,
yes, come to me;
For your two eyes
alone will see
All the beating
heart of me~

--- THE LEAVES OF
SPRING ----
I bud for you like
leaves of spring
Their beauty fresh and new as this:
The warming of the
morning dew
That turns the day into a kiss~
And so my lips
convey the dream
That travels to
the bursting heart
And flowers there as
where it seems
My love for you
had gained its start~
I've blossomed
more in this short time
Than all the years
I can recall ~
The onward path
that brought me here
To bear my love -
to share it all~
Can time dismiss
the years now gone?
I know this season,
new, will bring
A sparkling light
to every dawn
And glow like all
the leaves of spring.

TOM
KRAFT,
a poet and song writer resides in Michigan. Happily married. His romantic
poetry is some of the best written.
Tom Your Poetry never dissappoints me its always so romantic and just beautiful to read its flawless.
ReplyDeleteI call him the SONNET MASTER, for Tom Kraft is a Throw-Back of your great Rhymers of the day, the romantic writers of our times are brought back to life by this great Writer who knows how to turn a pen into golden amulets of seductive words. Things in our world have been said a million times. It's hard to be original. But the thing about Tom Kraft's Romantic and lyrical verses is that he puts a fresh spin on everything he writes so that almost you feel you are hearing those words or perceiving that scenario for the first time ever. He's that GOOD!!!! Words Love Tom and he makes love back to to them in the most gentle and extraordinary of ways.
ReplyDeleteI think that Tom Kraft is one of the best sonnet writers he is known by myself as Mr. Romance , and i think he is one very talented gifted writers and poets around in the literary world for sure.
