His Mistress's Affection

247 18 23
                                    

I desire not,

Thee's soul.

Nor any fervent wish,

Thee gave it all.

Or artificial pieces of shine,

To show thine affection for me.

I crave,

For none of those.

But when summer recedes,

And chills slithers in,

Eyes are pit,

Decayed all that green.

If a thought of me,

A memory,

Bringeth a smile

To thine woe begone lips

Then that, is enough for me.

I beg not,

For love albeit conditions,

Love is a fool's whim

Victim of beauty and dimes.

Thence i beseech,

Imprison me in thee's mind

Hovering as though thy shadow.

When apart by flesh, in woe,

But one, somehow, in spirit,

Lingering in thine heartbeat.

So at times

When thy footsteps falter,

And no silhoutte further or behind.

That echo of me thee carry

In the recesses of thine mind,

Giveth thee strength, a thought kind,

To further thine tiresome journey

When happiness seems a forgotten imagery,

Then i doth this life well-lived,

Every desire, every hope fulfilled.
