Love's Reason

Shall I the night recant? Or could you reason why I shan’t? For with such fever we did debate How and where I steer my fate And though above us you loftily slept My quest for you we did inspect A search for reason our peers embark And so I examine my unyielding heart. Within my mind the truth unveils Liberating what my heart conceals And so for them this list I write To end any debate this night. To begin: Kindness, Comfort, Passion, Fright, Knowledge, Vigor, Truth and Light, Sincerity, Simplicity, Humanity. Honesty Benevolence, Joy, and a strength unfamiliar to me. In addition: Laughter, love, and righteousness, Fun, and Trusting with Wide eyed innocence. To sum it up to those too blind, A gentleness of Heart and mind. So this is why I long for you But I’m afraid these words won’t do. For with these thoughts my tongue does bind And my body does fall in line. Until you awake from your sleep And outstretch your heart for me to keep.
