Oh if you where the sun!
Then could I gaze upon you till the day waned
And shadows where thrown upon the land
Strewn about like fallen leaves.
How I would stare, long after your grace had left my sight
Still in my mind, your warmth upon my skin;
Patiently would I wait watching the moon, living on beauty borrowed from you.
But the silky spell it wraps the night in
All fades away with the coming of a new day
