Only By the Stars

Contributed by Rous on Wednesday, 24th March 2004 @ 10:38:07 AM in AEST
Topic: fictional

I know this seems obsessive, but I like the whole LOTR idea. Anyway, it is this or the dark stuff. This one defied any music, but the heart.

Only by the stars that sweep the night sky
Have I ever seen your face
The soothing time of twilight alone
Has revealed your grace
The gentle breeze blowing, that lives only
To softly caress your skin
Dies a willing death, to return
And wrap you once again

The teasing breath of evening stirs
Caressing the tendrils of your hair
It weaves around you and darts away
Hesitant to touch one so fair
Your step is as the down from the flowers
Stirred by your body as you pass
You leave no footprint on the ground
Not even on the grass

How is it possible that one such as you
Could love one such as I
The mere thought that you just might
Is enough to make me sigh
There is nothing that can exceed
The beauty you contain
Your existence is an epic song
With a never ending refrain

Surely nothing can surpass the beauty
That is yours by right of birth
The poetry that is in your movements
Is the sum of all on earth
But wait, what is that to the west?
A blinding orb of light
It is great enough to take my breath
It even takes my sight

There is nothing now can match it
It is truly a work of art
But glancing back at you
I am struck straight through my heart
As bright and grand the orb is now
And even more it grows
I realize your beauty rested
Always in shadows

For nothing can convince me
That orb is brighter yet
Than the face I now behold
And never will forget
You are my sun and moon
You outshine every star
You have my love forever
Undying, as we are

I am jealous of the wind and stars
That have touched your body fair
When I have been content thus far
To worship and to care
To caress your beauty with my mouth
My words my only touch
I feel they have served me poorly
They can only say so much

So answer now before I die
I cannot bear the pain
Of your refusal in my ears
I will ask only once again
You say yes? My love
Is returned a thousand fold?
And to think I might have lost it all
If I had only not been bold
