Love Poem: Charming the Moon

Charming the Moon

A gracious silver silhouette
For a mirage, a solemn bet
I shall pull on strings with invisible fingers
For a feeling that forever in the land lingers

A declaration of utmost infatuation
Romance, the name of the situation
Sitting on my little castle of dry sand
I'll look up at you, ask you if you understand

That I love you, adore you, need your presence
Together, precious, why not, let's jump the fence
Defy the three wenches of fate, together like rocks forgotten
Snakes stirring within the ocean of sand, by arrows striken
A egregious god, I by those vile reptiles of love bitten
None has achieved what I will, you will soon be taken

Perfect circle of argent
Of the Heavens the infant
Will you give me your divine favor?
I pray at your altar with fervor

I would do anything for your graces
Show you the world, a thousand faces
In fact, no atrocity is bellow me, for a stare
I would kill, slaughter, torture, without care!

I offer my broken wings to you as a tribute
In honour of your beauty, so that I may refute
Any who may doubt the sincerity of me the Heartfelt
Steady, by your side, ever-present, like a safety belt

A guardian to you silent stargazer
Of your hidden dance I am the watcher
Soon of your one soul the catcher
Artist to your forms, I am a gazer

No canvas reaching the hegenomy of your beauty
None of my work worthy, what a miserable pity
Yet, I still keep an hope vain
As from my visage life drains

I am the Moon Charmer
