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!!!

i love this!:
'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'
Girl, based on this sonnet i'd put you up against Shakespeare!

Well I think Shakespeare would be highly impressed... you intoxicate all me senses with such loving thoughts... this is a gem of a poem that would shine bright even in the dark and lift even the heaviest heart.
Beautiful and a fav of mine.

Oh yeah! Just you wait! Really a splendid piece, Romantic passion about to go Supernova, I get it, I get it! ;)
Super good fun and fantastic, riveting stuffy stuff!!

The definition of pining for a love. I've known this aching desire and you sum it up beautifully in your Shakespearean style, Seri. You are on a kick with this!! :-)

Beautifully done. I think I'll go kiss my husband and thank him for being a constant rather than a moment - I don't do pining well.

Simply poetic. :) If only. Very well versed.
