As if to bless with daylights warm embrace You come to me, my love, in hallowed grace This softness held as purest pleasures speak Tis of such treasured grail my heart doth seek Brushed by strokes of love, one's eyes dare behold Of palette's mingled dreams pray hopes lay told To rise in hues that must truly speak of thee From such artist's gifts, desire wouldst surely see This thirst will not be quenched absent your taste Nor for less this moment misspend or waste With willing arms hold close so true this heart Yet less one soul should bade us ere to part Take this my love in tribute due No more than that I ask of you Old English Sonnet Contest Sponsored By Janice Canerdy 10/25/2016
