“She walks in beauty, like the night”

Lord Byron

 

~~~

 

If my beauty is compared

to night...with loving eyes

then let the dawn’s light be spared

I’ll wrap you in my skies

of amethyst and moonlit glow

and stars so tenderly

that my heart shall overflow

if you will walk with me…

I would say the last line makes this so touching and romantic... Life, lovers, anything can be beautiful but if it isn't cherished, adored, and shared then what is the point?

To share all that is you, tenderly, wrapping your essence around that of your lover defines what it is to truly love.. The giving of oneself entirely to another.... you have elegantly expressed this in your romantic way.....


nicely done as always girl.

I love this -- it's simple and yet elegantly complex. These lines, especially, spoke to me:
If my beauty is compared
to night...with loving eyes
I’ll wrap you in my skies
of amethyst and moonlit glow

The fact that you manage to say so much in so few words constantly amazes me. My favourite lines would be:



"I’ll wrap you in my skies

of amethyst and moonlit glow" :))
