My Love Affair with Sunday Mornings

Fleeting or My Love Affair with Sunday Mornings
Apr. 24, 2010

Rosetti's Beata Beatrix

I watched thee from afar
With strain in my breast and water in these eyes
The soft bounce of your hair burned kohl black
And the air that fluttered your soft drape
Opened forth the gates of Eden in me
That lifted the core and tinted its skies

I longed for thee from a distance
With yearning in my thoughts and fire on my skin
The soft shadow of an immaculate face grace the day with happiness' gift
The glow of your brown eyes lay unknown
The joy which turned into the pallor of grief
Knowing they shan’t turn to me

But I still loved thee from my post
Though with pain in my heart and sorrow in my mind
I waited for the beauty that glimmered ever on each Sun’s Day, that begot its fervor from thee.
The excitement of the heavens with thy soft skin that played with its angelic rays
Evermore to see you walk down on those mortal steps
And to those arms' clasps forever be kept; to another that gave thee thy smile.
