★ Sonnet in Starlight ★
Come, let us run in starlight
Whilst the day dreams in her bed
Let us drink the moonlight
As the visions fill our heads.
Knowest not the words I weave
Have power to instill
The joy that love alone may bring
That death tries but cannot kill?
What sayeth thou, O, love of mine?
As thine eyes caress my face
Thy fingers tender on my lips
As I drown in this embrace.
The man who lovely sonnets wrote
Could never write this poem
He, who wrote of love appearing
To evaporate with morn.
For in this cocoon of love we share
In arms that hold to bliss
We feel what few will ever feel
In this pact sealed by our kiss.
Run now in starlight hand in hand
On feet earth bound no more
All questions answered, all doubts erased
Our love, a thing of lore.
But only we may write these words
That the Divine alone can bring
The music, the lyrics combined in song
That only we can sing.
