"It gives me wonder great as my content To see you here before me."* —William Shakespeare — Othello, act II, scene I.
She, veiled in night-breezes of darkled hue; This cream Inamorata as you've called her. She wishes to calm the seas; your eyes a turbulent blue. The remnants of a broken heart she hopes to stir, With the enchanting embrace of her halo-like arms. Like you, this angel sought heaven all along. Enthralled by her and all of her innocent charms, You now cling to her and chant every love-song! If World be willing — if malignant stars never shined, Then she would fly to you without any fear, And she'd cradle your heart; a widower's heart that pined For this dusky form that you now hold in your thoughts so dear. But tonight she waits for you in after-curfew dreams. So luminous is her light, though the darkness it gleams!
