Sweet Succulence
Sweet succulence, tis that of making
Gentle in breath, majestic and pure
Such is found in tender hearts
Noble souls, and natural splendor
Eyes that hide the ocean tides
Soft, and sweet, beyond cognition
Alas, the dawning has been engaged
Now damsel, thou hath found rebirth
Listen hence, for nature whispers
Majestic winds cross mountaintops
Cascading flow of mystical streams
From below an enigmatic rising
Our astrolabe of great convergence
Tis time, this moment, a happening
My eyes are lost, but recognize
Eloquent curves, each such splendor
Placement true, each gilded hair
Finespun sigh, tis recognition
Endless light within your eyes
Our echoed lives on sweetened lips
Time permits, while beauty waits
Alas, the distance ever closing
While passion gathers, thoughts reveal
Another moment, tis certainty
Past surrendered, yet love remains
Lifetimes passage, tis countless time
Moments parsed for thou and thy
