A Thousand Times
Awake! Clandestine one
Celestial and benign
Hold not back the beauty of
these auspices I find!
For in the chamber of each verse
where light gave birth to form
A whisper brave and unrehearsed
brought life to this churning storm
Behold the candle on its staff
and the wine within the chalice
Imbibe the hour and be sure to laugh
without pain nor malice
Ebb slow and wax well
in your ethereal luminescence
for the barbs of your stars
have grabbed this heart
and are now it's very essence
Gently a solar wind
within the underpinning of my mind
like a flare it begins
and warms a universe inside
The inky void and parchment dream
Without you, they don't mean a thing
My dearest of all inspiration
In veneration do I sing!
and so the world despises
a love quite strong and true
Yet with our own disguises
They'll never quite see through
My heart has engaged you
for a thousand times
in rhymes and still it finds
there is no end in sight
to this poetic paradise
