Love's Guardian

To love an Angel..

Thou rest gently on my lids;
A love awakend and to keep
Thin love, tender and unspent
To warm me as I sleep

How like the moon come forth
To her stars, a love divine
Between two hearts that love so infinitely,
Stretched out over the whole of time

No fear in our love,
Thine soft kisses full of taste,
Keeping me securely;
An Angel's wings in sweet embrace

I fill thee above the brim with love,
Drinking what spills over and forever keep
A nourishment so enlightening;
A feeding flame and preserving sweet

I muse on thine face
Thou on mine, and love appears
Thine feathers brush lovingly
And wash away my fears

In the absence of everything
Thou shall forever remain the one
My nights that crave thine heaven
And pay no worship to the sun

And on our final night
When that last hour will come,
We shall rest in our still beds,
Our souls forever one
