If but a moment I were given to express
This irresistible passion, my soul’s excess,
Though lacking jewels and honeyed-wine,
I would requite in gentle, thoughtful, rhyme.
Spending myself in rhapsodic emotion
That I might brew loves perfect potion.
Within my chest resides an ember; remnant of that spark,
From out the furnace of creation, piercing through the dark.
My life is a returning stream flowing down the mountain
Blessing all who drink with joy as I travel to the Fountain.
I am but a Mockingbird resting in the trees,
Piping out my spirit’s song, only your heart to please.
I would like to be the wind and blow where’re I will;
I’d sing your praise across the plains, whistle it o’er the hills.
If I was made a shooting star, streaking ‘cross the sky,
I promise I would burn for you and never say goodbye.
What I’d give to be the moon, drawn upwards every night,
I’d carry myself across the heavens to cover you with light.
Darling, rest here in my arms- I shall not repeat –
We both can see time giving way underneath our feet.
We are fleeting wisps of smoke scattered ‘cross the air
Let’s enjoy our time together and shrink away from care.
We are but simple figures in this show beneath the sun,
For thy heart I’d fight this fate -not rest until I’ve won.
If you’ve ever gazed upon the splendor of rosy-fingered dawn
Or marveled at the beauty held within the smallest fawn
Then you will understand me, clearly when I say
I am but a fool for you and it could be no other way.
You might call me mad, well just blame it on the moon.
Who can truly control their heart or say that it’s too soon?
If my honest confessions have moved your brilliant mind
Naught would make me happier than for our two hearts to bind.
But if my heart you do reject, my love you choose to spurn,
I pray you’ll plainly say so, giving kindness no concern.
I remember what once was spoken -for I am not a dunce-
But if some hope remains, then I’ll wait patiently for once
