"Star

The
darkened sky revealed a distant light
Who has
kept my gaze with her cheerful glow
Her
twinkle brought day to my lonely night
And
allowed warm fires in my heart to grow
Even
brightest days now but dreams of her
To bring
her close amidst the distant skies
Where
silently both love and friendship stir
To let
two souls embrace with meeting eyes
Though
days would pass before we’d meet again
And time,
earth and skies have kept us afar
I’d wait
through any days for night’s descend
For
passing moments with my lovely star
And
though infinite stars light skies above
Tis but a
single star that I shall love
"Loving a Rose
O how foolish it
is to love a rose,
Surrender to
charm, admire her beauty,
And find
yourself in frustration to show,
Affections are
pure in their constancy.
Let hands feel
the softness of each caress,
Lend her the
warmth of day in your embrace.
Let eyes see
desire in its tenderness,
As passion rains
down gently on her face.
Dedicate the
day, the joys of your care.
Endure the night
though you’re tired and worn.
Empty your
heart, leave it open and bare.
Hold her firmly
with trust, bearing each thorn.
All of these
things, both so foolish and true,
Suddenly gain meaning, when she loves you.
