With you, I truly desire to be;
Will you accept being with me?

Your mind is vast with knowledge gained,
And such badinage must have been trained
Through humorous friends and family too;
With you by my side, I would always be true.
Your company is that in which I feel comfortable best
As my thoughts lingered not on your thigh or your breast
Because I see you as more than just a layman’s endeavor;
I find you so sweet and ever so clever
You even posses such delightful wit
And you are quite comely, I do admit
Please consider my offer of shared futurity
And I swear that we shall live with great prosperity.

With you, I truly desire to be;
Will you accept being with me?
Christopher Marlowe was an English poet who, within the 1590s, wrote a poem entitled "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." This poem is considered to be one of the most well known poems within the English language, and has had many "replies" written for it.

This is my own take on this classic piece, actually using personal history from myself to emphasis my intentions. In short, the things that you read here are actual things that happened to me, in a sense.

May you enjoy the piece that I have written.

I really like that you expounded on your subject's mind and general aura first, showing that what was most important to you was the general affect he/she had on your spirits and feelings. That said, I thought the sheepish admittance of "And you are quite comely, I do admit" was very adorable and very real.

Very nice!

I like leafing through your poetry. I am actually an English major and poet before I am an artist, but I never got the impression that DeviantArt was particularly receptive to poetry. You are making me rethink this. Perhaps you will inspire me to put up some of my words. In the meantime, please keep putting up yours. Keep poetry alive!
