Love's Reason
Shall I the night recant?
Or could you reason why I shan’t?
For with such fever we did debate
How and where I steer my fate
And though above us you loftily slept
My quest for you we did inspect
A search for reason our peers embark
And so I examine my unyielding heart.
Within my mind the truth unveils
Liberating what my heart conceals
And so for them this list I write
To end any debate this night.
To begin: Kindness, Comfort, Passion, Fright,
Knowledge, Vigor, Truth and Light,
Sincerity, Simplicity, Humanity. Honesty
Benevolence, Joy, and a strength unfamiliar to me.
In addition: Laughter, love, and righteousness,
Fun, and Trusting with Wide eyed innocence.
To sum it up to those too blind,
A gentleness of Heart and mind.
So this is why I long for you
But I’m afraid these words won’t do.
For with these thoughts my tongue does bind
And my body does fall in line.
Until you awake from your sleep
And outstretch your heart for me to keep.
