The Nostalgic

Words composed turned While thinking of you as unveiled Flowers in day and stars in night You were the sky and I was the sea While sparkling bright reflected in me You were the star and I was the sky Shining day and night in my skies You were the moon and I was the sky Shimmering my pensive lone path to silvery You were the lightning and I was the thunder Illuminating me to roar and furor without fear You were the rain and I was the cloud As one together in harmony we stood Bringing tears to our eyes You were the bird and I was the wings Together dreaming and flying Storm, wind and tide all defying You were the smile and I was the dimple Beaming like a sun to cheer all from our love's pinnacle You were the soul and I was the body Heartening to live and love as one unto eternity But as I gazed into the night sky and Among fadeless flowers I searched You were nowhere Only my eyes were there and did flicker While shedding tears Filled with full of stars Overhead was the starry sky Bathed in the pale radiance of the moon shy And I whispered into her passionate ears "Oh dear, tell me to which sphere My love has gone, for I wonder Thou hast ceased to love me here" Though I saw you here and there in the mirage of noon For with your love I was over the moon Despite this and that you are still my star Will shine in my eyes forever Birth after birth and birth I may not own you with all my wealth But only love as my all One day may bring you and may be against your will Shall make you love me in the end as words composed Turned flowers in day and stars in night while thinking of you as unveiled
