As the moon reflects the sun
Do you see the intensity of your Love
Reflecting back from my face?
When you fix your eyes on mine
Do you see the jewels of a king
Bestowed upon one so ordinary?
That one as colorless as a servant
Could be made to overtake
The brilliance of the genteel!
What can be restored to you
Beyond the reflection of your heart
Which has made me transfigured?
Is to Love you, alone
Enough laurel for your brow
To enchant your heart and grace? Jane R Lipsius Submitted with permission of JRL Copyright ©2001 Jane Lipsius |
