My Love

My love on the moon.
Way into the atmosphere where light may be dim,
lavishing in your beauty, together we swoon.
Stay with me, way out on a limb.
My love on the sun.
In a sea of colourful heat,
I melt into your soul, and we become one.
Melding of bodies, heads to our feet.
My love by a lake.
Into the depths of your beauty I gaze
and for you, all others I will forsake.
Witnessed by God’s creatures as they graze.
My love with no return.
Vanishing into the ether, one way flight.
Eternal love is what I yearn
soaring away from human sight.
My love stay with me for all time,
Whether or not there is rhythm or rhyme.
