“She walks in beauty, like the night”

Lord Byron

 

~~~

 

If my beauty is compared

to night...with loving eyes

then let the dawn’s light be spared

I’ll wrap you in my skies

of amethyst and moonlit glow

and stars so tenderly

that my heart shall overflow

if you will walk with me…

I would say the last line makes this so touching and romantic... Life, lovers, anything can be beautiful but if it isn't cherished, adored, and shared then what is the point?

To share all that is you, tenderly, wrapping your essence around that of your lover defines what it is to truly love.. The giving of oneself entirely to another.... you have elegantly expressed this in your romantic way.....


nicely done as always girl.

Really got into this and I can't but ponder. Byrons reference to sonnet 18 is quite the enigma and left for those who posses knowledge which I don't. But what you go through I can relate. The beauty from your loving eyes , and the glimmer of dawn yet you twist and turn with the lovely translucent purple of the amatheist and the glowing of moon as caressing. I like this journey.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

I rather walk with you.

Thankyou
