This Poet Within

.
For you starless nights stretch out
       and scare away the morn
So you can leisurely tint and tinge,
       paint and adorn

Every thread and strand that you stitch
       and loop with the years
Into the fine fabric of Life,
        Love, Death, it appears

As you daydream nights at the seam
       of a seamless shore,
Sketching the now and tomorrow,
       spinning yarns of yore

Beneath borderless horizons
       of vast ocean skies
Till love knows no more your heart,
       till sight disowns your eyes!
