Starlight


 

What is it with my heart when you are close?

Thou face is like a glowing light at night

So much other qualities thy shall boast

Although the moment is finally right

I do hope this night shall not fade once more

And nothing can break this perfect moment

Thy sparkling eyes shift my weak heart offshore

Even the stars cannot be more poignant

As long as the crickets chirp on this course

As long as the moon will shine it’s brightest

In dark times, my heart will not have remorse

The other creatures may look in disgust

Even in the darkest times as we live

Your eyes will shine and hold my heart captive
