Blink

Ahhh, Shakespeare hath but put a spell upon me....

 

Blink

 

Would that I could give

but one amongst the stars aloft

That I would trade the fading light

for the blackest of twilight nights…

Alone would I be

and lonely would I stay, eternally

if but one moment with you

might dwell amidst me, anew?

 

What I would surrender

For a moment in your loving embrace?

The shadowed sky hath not but one star

as bright as thee shining upon me

For you I would write a million sonnets

if I could but have you, just once....

Just once to taste the sweet tonic of thy lips,

to feel thy rugged arms about me........

Fifty seasons of tomorrows would I forfeit

for one moment with you, my love

 

What concertos could Bach compose

which might but dry the tears of mine eyes

For one moment wrapped in thy love?

Could Van Gogh paint a thousand Starry Nights

that together could even come close

to the everlasting joy mine heart would feel

to shine as a star for one moment with thee?

 

In timeless hours of days long past

would I surrender my own memories vast

 to create but one new memory alas

which might in darkness eternal shadows cast

upon mine heart a fervent glow

and in thine too, a sigh shall so swell

of perpetual love in kingdoms dwell

of a never-ending moment shared for love to tell

My word;ess heart, this is beyond the peripheries of a poetess' heart words
if only for that moment, trickles with these wondrous and gift of words
such a beautifully written piece with olde feel to the passaages that flow
with such a beautiful rhythm and beat, so soft and emanating as the heart
confers for that one moment, and the title just seems to suit the content!
Such magnificent piece! I was truly swept away with the wordings!!!

Truly in the style of the bard!!! Well written, an enjoyable read.

[An owl on the moon]

Thy writing is most lovely, oh lady of tranquil passions and eternal sighs! Ye hast built a city of love surrounded by movement and lilting music most sublime!!! (And I rarely use the term sublime except in exceptional cases!!!) Most wonderful in every way!!!

[Quill]

this piece may be your best work yet. maybe it just speaks to me in a way that i understand, but it is a beautiful longing desire for love.

[Forest Green]

Transcendence is portrayed with words that reach to the stars then reveal the depth of loneliness of life without true love. Truth is nearly frightful when one considers the longings the heart places upon the mind when unrequited in its search for completion.

Shakespearan in tone and expression...

Nice work...!
