A Love Poem

May 12, 2009

I.

I’ve walked with you on many days / I’ve thought of you in many ways

In many streets, in sun and rain / in peace and turmoil, joy and pain

The large, the deep, the beautiful / the large, the deep, the plentiful

The moon that never will wane / the river rushing through the plain

 

II.

Blue-slippered feet on drying grass / hands held, we inch through broken glass

We’ve not yet travelled very far / we’ll travel thus forevermore

The young, the lost, the much-in-love / we cast our eyes far, far above

The journey to a future star / and yet, remain here, as we are

 

III.

I’m lost completely to your lips / I love your eyes, and fingertips

Whenever your voice finds its way to my ear / I wish and I wish, and I wish you 

were here

So warm, this charm: and crystalline / so fraught with this thought (for with you 

I’m divine)

That the star in the river glows fiery and clear / that our ship in the sky is no challenge to steer
