And Seize The Night

Love poem written archaically

We should never, ever

Suffer from timidity…

Erenow let us be

Both brash and bold…

For we’ll ne’er be

This young again (you see)

Nor will we e’er be so old

Let us take delight

In delayed goodnights

In long embraces

Hold so tight 

Take leisure in

The pleasure of

Long languid looks 

From limpid eyes

We should never be 

Afraid To proffer thanks

Boldly offer profuse delight

Always tender soft sighs 

And friendly goodnights

And need never…ever say

…Goodbyes…
