My Sweetheart

Dear Richard,

 

Will we see the sunshine?

 

You are the sun and the moon.

Not a twinkle or a glow,

You are radiant rays of warmth.

Melt away an icy soul until my past melts like tears.

 

I could sit in your light for hours.

Day and night are nothing to us.

Ponder, wonder, wait forever,

I will, only for you.

Light burns up inside of me.

Anger and fear, sizzle and steam,

Til at last all remains is hope.

 

I have hope.

Give me strength, I will give you the world.

Prop me up and I will carry you a lifetime.

Promises I make and choose.

 

Time is the undoing of all words,

Unravels them to meaningless shades of blue.

Love, pain, hope, despair,

Fall away surely in crumbles.

Light too is not eternal.

Objects must, and will, invade the path to warmth.

By any means, even if but to smell a daisy,

Rays of light will be distracted and disarrayed.

Hope and light do not last,

Logic demands as much.

 

Then without logic, I approach.

Behind me are philosophy and reason.

I allow no calculations to hinder my ascent.

To my sun, I come.

Shall I stand near to you?

Forever you and I will let not a rose between us.

Closeness denies all others access.

Burning increases as steps I take,

More of me revealed.

 

My source of light, still you are but a star.

Together we turn. Upwards, above,

Is Fate.

You are my sun, but sunshine is beyond even you.

Logic has denied us, will Fate now?

Cross our hands together,

And may we see blessings.

 

Will we see the sunshine?

Lie in wait, let no harm come.

And may we pray to see the Sun.

 

Love Princess
