Courtly Love Ii

I saw you today
the sun swirled around your beauty
and I envied it's chance to dance with you
in a glorious eddy of entanglement
I wanted to speak to you of love
but time and space seemed to always block my way
and others always seemed
to be there to build a wall between you and me
And so once again
I spent my day
just being with you
but never telling you of my thoughts
that have taken to slumbering in the refuge of my mind
Now those thoughts tell tales
that have no concerns for keeping silent

I saw you today
and birds sang of your extravagance
it was a melody that cradles one's soul
and draws water from one's eyes
I wanted to join in
but my cowardice
gave counsel
to spend my time looking on from afar
It told me it was far better
to boldly love you with the love of knights
