Love Poem: Testament

Testament

A silver beam of moonlight sears
    thy face within my memory,
branding thee forever on my heart.
Its soft flare reveals a trace 
    of sadness there,  
as this fateful evening we must part.

My grieving soul doth languish in the dark,
    flowers have ceased to bloom,
their fragrance spent; only thy 
swift return will flame the heavens
    and prompt the lark to burst 
forth into song, O joyous testament!
