Lily Nov 2019
You left me at dusk,
Gaunt and sad and gray,
And when the morning glow arose,
I could find you not.

The night before was faded
Like a withered rose, and
I could scarcely recall your smile,
Your sunflower smile.

Why were you taken from beside me?
I hope there is a reason, as the time
I’ve spent since you left has been
Measured and is of little worth.
Inspired by Robert Frost's "Flower-Gathering"

What is it about the moon
That I miss so much
Hiding in the corners
Of the sky
Peeking between
the shrubbery of the clouds
It's no use, bright thing
I still see you

your voice is the only lullaby that rocks my heart to sleep.

   my love,

will you
   marry me?

We are
  hand in glove,

I'm on
   bended knee.

I am breathless
  in your
    beauty.

If I were blind,
   you would
    make me see.

Intense
   would be
the love
  we share.

Together
   forever,
a lifelong pair.
