Love Poem No. 4

A Lover's Vow

"I shall love you always, darling,

from the rising of the sun,

till appear with darkness' falling,

stars that sheen your eyes -

----------------each one, reason for my kissing

lips that moonlight shades and glistens,

cheeks that blush at wisperings

of passion's words."

------------------ Intent, you listen.

Anxious to translate intendings,

eager to accept their plea,

naked in your offerings

of yourself, your gift to me.

"This, my vow to you, my darling,

though the stars may shine no more,

though days dawn with sunless mornings

of my love, you may be sure -

of my liking - of my lusting -

Interest, friendship, hope and care,

pleasure in the joy of trusting,

solace just because you're there.

Words,

------------ mere letters that spell meanings,

cannot deep-felt thoughts express

passions' sighs and bodies' joinings,

----------------- illustrate with tenderness."
