This Rose
of
Darkest Gray
A Sonnet for Darling, With All My Love.
Imagination paints, a view of you asleep,
So clear that I can lightly kiss your face.
A flood of awe engulfs me and I begin to weep
Love gathers up my tears in her embrace.
On the edge of morning, darkness full of light
A sword of red is drawn by coming dawn.
The cape of starry skies, thrown back by night
Reveals the flower that my tears fall upon.
Darling I will whisper, hoping you'll awake,
"Without you there's no light, I cannot see.
Dark of night, day of light, both I will forsake
To stand and gaze at you eternally."
..The Sun and Moon are backgrounds, the frame of night and day
..Both are just pale shadows of this rose of darkest gray,
