The nearness of you for MY Lady Irene

a poem

 

The nearness of you.

 

Stray moonbeams are softly stealing, through my window and revealing.

Things I do not see by daylight. Odd ornaments which they highlight.

They trigger off old memories, not always guaranteed to please

Soft silver beams enable me to the past so vividly.

It is as if the years between which flew so fast had never been

 But I can remember too the happy years I’ve spent with you.

You lie there sleeping peacefully I feel your love enfolding me.

The silver beams caress your face and lend to you an added grace

An aura of divinity. I do not need moonlight to see.

Perhaps mine is biased view because I’m so in love with you

I look at you with lovers eyes and once again I realise.

How privileged I am to be watching you sleep peacefully

You reach your hand out sleepily I stroke it reassuringly.

I am content to simply be, lying beside you quietly.

The moonbeams leave before the dawn .Heralds a new day being born

My love for you won’t fade away its growing stronger every day.

Unlike the moon beams which must leave It is eternal I believe.

This is a very good love poem. I like the emphasis on the moonbeams, and for whatever reason, it reminds of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Mama Cass... very good ;)
