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
