How I long

A poem about love deferred and love discouraged

My love, how I long for thee
In the summer's rain
How I long for thee
In the wintry pain
How I long for thee

Your eyes, how they glitter
Stars in their cool light
Glisten in your eyes bright
As we ease together
In the dark, cold night

Our hearts intertwined
Our minds one, mine and thine

A silver stream glosses
My vision of thee
For as I rest here
Writing these words
I dream of your mind
A poem in thy eyes

My love, how I long for thee
Please dearest
Come to me

Join your hands with mine
Allow your lips this offering
As we sway into the night


I watch for thee
In the morning light

All I need from thee
A promise of eternity
Will you soon come for me?

My love, how I long for thee
In the summer's rain
How I long for thee
In the wintry pain
How I long for thee
