Wishes
Invoke the the orb
to shine upon me new
and never let it say goodnight
let me not strain
for all that I desire
let peace come to me
willingly in the dead of night
celestiele beam
that orbits my heart
dispelling the darkness
captivated by pure light
in awe and wonder
I stare and gaze
and hold you in my palm
but all is illusion
and small am I
beneath your rays
as if passing time
languidly, you stare
back and look out for me
is it too much to ask,
to desire and wish
for the moon?
counter clockwise you
encircle my heart
and you affect the rise
and fall of all my emotions
as easily as you control
the tides of the very
depths and breath
of the oceans
and who can but nought
stand still beneath
your haunting gaze?
for you are my protector
in the darkest part of my day
and if I could but steal the kiss
that would make all wishes
come true
then I would climb the
tallest tree and reach
into the heavenly realms
and seal the promise of deed
