ENCHANTMENT


If you asked me for a star, I should gladly take to wing,
to endeavor to please you, being worth the fall,
but being me, I would capture a star for you,
and then go after the moon, to adorn you.

Though in truth, you need no embellishment,
for you are perfect, to my eyes,
when Love glistens in your eyes, no star shines brighter,
that you gleam for me, the heart grows fonder.

In our poetic minds, sometimes, we are Gods, and Angels,
but with you, to be human is enough,
Earth bound in our hearts, and minds,
I see no shackles in this, for this human love, is boundless,
we share so much, the celestial stars, might envy us.


I scorn the heavens, for with you,
I hold the universe,
oh my love, to sit astride a rock, embracing you,
and watch the tide, come to kiss the hot sands.

To walk a wooded glade, hands entwined, drenched in birdsong,
the music to our love,
to hold you gently in my arms,
and kiss you, tenderly.

I give all of me, to all of you,
my love flows softly towards you,
I trust you with all things, I have to give
your gentleness, will care for them.

I will hold your heart, like a butterfly, in cupped hands,
caring, and with gentle love,
in truth, the heavens hold no charms for me,
for I have paradise with you.
