Fill Up a Scroll

To see your gaze light the firmament
To see your smile lift the sun
It’s your eyes I see as the moon rises
My heart hopes this is love begun

You gaze through the space, do you see me?
I watch in hope forlorn
But my heart I want to give to thee
You are the reason I was born.

My love I can only send
On rolled parchment now to you
My life on you depends 
For in truth you love me too

You gaze through the window 
I see you every day
You face lights up as I pass
 Please speak to me I pray

Although I am of lowly birth 
I am rich in love for you
Please grant me a next meeting
And we could start anew.

I will do it right this time
And ask your father’s grace
But we both know it now
Together is our place.

A sign, my love, from where you sit
And gaze each day t’wards me
I promise my life, my love, my name
As I promise to make a wife of thee.

Would you believe it has taken Harry's death to make me re-read some of my poems, he used to re-read and comment all the time, I was bad at that and missed out on some wonderful comments, thank you, Eileen xx
