I fear thy love, thy touch, O
gallant Knight,
Memories totter
forth, they cloud my sight
What if the lamp of
passion and warmth shatters
And the splendor of a million stars is lost forever
What if thy heart no longer yearns or remembers
And leaves my soul alone and naked to frost
The sweet solemn spell of thy celestial presence
Beckons my heart from the deep, dark wilderness
Where mouldering flowers stir in thy luminescence
And bitumen lakes glisten with silent reverence
It overwhelms me, my Knight, this love, its essence,
And the splendor of a million stars is lost forever
What if thy heart no longer yearns or remembers
And leaves my soul alone and naked to frost
The sweet solemn spell of thy celestial presence
Beckons my heart from the deep, dark wilderness
Where mouldering flowers stir in thy luminescence
And bitumen lakes glisten with silent reverence
It overwhelms me, my Knight, this love, its essence,
Its rapture and the soul dissolving existence
Beloved as thou art, it mustn’t die upon my heart
Many a dream came, withered and got lost in me
Yet I stand bare, basked in the autumn serenity.
Make my soul thine, O gallant Knight
If thou shalt promise to hold it for an eternity.
its beautiful..the doubt..the anxiousness yet at the same time the promise of a true eternal love..its so well expressed..reading your poetry makes me go back to my favorite classroom..travel to a distant world..where one can dream! keep writing..!!
