To My Beloved

Today she came and waked me with a kiss and Outstretched lay uncovered at my side. My cold heart leapt as Yesterday’s fears were Washed away. Beloved laid her healing hands like downy feathers on my soul; Each stroke a sweet caress silken in the afterglow. Love has stepped into my wasteful life and Opened mine eyes; with truthfulness has she Vowed to keep herself for mine. Each day brings delight as I’ve never felt before and Death, death would not be welcome were it to claim me now.
