Love Poem: Before We Embrace the Night

Before We Embrace the Night

I will come for you, I will walk you home 
When evening light bathes the tree trunks in gold
I will be with you, you'll not be alone 
And your sweet soft palms in mine I will hold

Together, our arms entwined, will we stride
The busy streets of Unity Gardens
Just as on the aisle with you as my bride
And casting away all our life burdens

As a worshipper adores a wild god
So shall I, your countenance my delight
And till pale stars shine, love's ship let's aboard
Then glowing, you'll mirror the gloamings light

Before we embrace the night sweet honey, 
On love's wings we'll fly a heaven's journey
