He proclaimed
I am
as the lady wants me to be
rain drop to her pail
its a full moon
peeping through the slight clouds'
over cast
I piped into exclaim
like your love
peeping through your own
eyes just now
trying to steal the wonderfulness
of you
even from your own self
leaving me confused
as to where the moon is
upon cloud nine above
or right by my very side
this night
sigh!!
'tis true
how I would like to hold your
face in my hands
drink the love from your eyes
so deep in passion's garden
who needs any antioxidants
for your eyes are just as potent
those flaring fiery lips as red
as any prize worthy rose
still growing so strongly upon
the vine
the warmth they exude
is enough heat to tempt
a storm to come visit with us
soon
I don't mind drying though in your
arms though my dear
how could I stand to gain more
your breathing is like a soft
summer breeze
which could make me live
a million note worthy lives
for every death I die
what an impact
how I wish to fall asleep forever
in those eyes
then so quietly came his own
enrapt reply
as heaven holds this hammering heart
m'lady
now I find the moon is shining upon
me as well
lest I should not suppose
miss my warmest darling's
tenderly earnest face
nor the tear stains that have left
behind in moon light
their silent, truthful feelings' trail
in a heap I fell before such love's feet
and it was the Shakespeare in his soul
that caught me
for the rest of this life
I made from that night on
a life of true words living
with my very own Shakespearian soul
Dear Shy man I shall never forget
all your gentleness...........
