‘ Longing ‘
Perhaps the stars did see
The vows written to you
Maybe a passing bee
Buzzed along my love’s tune
The seas carry my affections
To give them to the moon
As a breeze whispers to dandelions,
“Good heavens, stop the swoon!”
Your eyes are as bright
As a thousand suns, to start
But try as I might
You can never see my heart
Stars, bees, the seas all know
What is there left to show?
Can’t you see, I love you so?
My love! I’m filled with woe
