Doth thee not know feelings of this, thy heart?
That I covet thy shadow, thee being mine desire
Ye o’er night in found dreams love doth start.
For thy yearning of love mine arms seek fire.

Sweeter than the dream should be
Forsaking all ties in reverie
No one bids away these, my thoughts
As nothing but your desire is sought

Into the fortnight of the moment, thou art here.
Into the arms of thy grace, my soul doth now rest.
‘Pon set of silver moon, mine eyes shed tear.
Lo, but thee have mine all, ‘gainst thy own breast.

Seek me for I am your real!
Find me beneath your fingers’ feel
Hold me tight against your chest,
And slay the silence that we test

Thee art not mine to take, lest thee desire me.
Thy wish becomes my duty, for thou art free.
Thy beauty doth blind my eyes, wilt thee know
For blood from my veins rush for thee, ‘tis so.

You speak of freedom, ‘tis my choice to choose,
From thee, my love, bid me not abuse
Thy thought, as to whether I stay, or go,
For as you would have it, may it be so!

Wilt the orb of night set before thy love find?
Doth thee awake before thy dreams entwined?
Can Ye not feel the fervor of mine own heart?
In slumber I wait, mine own dreams do start.

And thy dream, thy wish, thy true blood red
Finds this soul, thy love, within thy bed;
In fantasy seek thy reverie
Here and now, within thy heart of me.

A familiar sounding muse

Interesting write.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
