Analysis of Love's Offerings
Love's Offerings
Blustery winds on a dark night
gives cause to a wishful tomorrow
forlorn moans of puppy wails
bestow despondency to my sorrow
Running dreams
now ascending earth
to the flickering beyond mars.
Where a glimmering of hope
galvanized within a wink and
the twinkling of stars.
As my love burns and
flares so bright f
rom my chest
that wounds my heart.
To breathe
the breath of devotion
upon her lips
to have our two souls start.
The podium of risk is
tethered to my heart in
the absent of a darkened night.
When the moon is left blackened
in darkness
leaving love in a circle of light.
Where my yearning
turns to burning
causing blemishes within
my land of dreams.
In the morn
where I shall take that girl
within my arms
and hold tight as the sun gleams.
Telling her the moon
and the stars are ours
while the sunrise is both to share.
Foe our heavens offerings
and earthly delight
as our love
will always be there.
