Courtly Love Ii

I saw you today the sun swirled around your beauty and I envied it's chance to dance with you in a glorious eddy of entanglement I wanted to speak to you of love but time and space seemed to always block my way and others always seemed to be there to build a wall between you and me And so once again I spent my day just being with you but never telling you of my thoughts that have taken to slumbering in the refuge of my mind Now those thoughts tell tales that have no concerns for keeping silent I saw you today and birds sang of your extravagance it was a melody that cradles one's soul and draws water from one's eyes I wanted to join in but my cowardice gave counsel to spend my time looking on from afar It told me it was far better to boldly love you with the love of knights
