Like some latter day Cyrano
these words are all I have
to flatter and romance you
distract you to my love.

I’ll not compare you to a summer’s day
nor cloud like lonely wander
but lean on my own reasoning
and let these stanzas make you ponder.

Poetic words are nothing more
than symbols in a string,
but joined by such enlivenment
and pleasures that you bring
to me your soft visage
your radiance, your being,
enthral my waking hours
light up my every dream.

So hard then to be here
when you’re continents away
with just your voice to listen to
at the end of every day.

These beauteous visions in my mind
have helped me find a way
to wind up on your doorstep
to be near you, with you, stay.

I count the days before I leave
to travel on my way, so

Come to me I’ll come to you
together let us stay
until your sweet lipped mouth,
your neck, your face, your whole array, I’ve

Kissed all night and day.
