Love Song

[smokingboot]

I learned the sovereignty of light
In a tawny travellers dust
On cool water nights with Antares shining
over my head and a lake full of horses

I learned it in sunsets of rubies
And mornings flooded from the east
Til I was up to my waist in molten light
And gold breathed deep in my eyes.

And if you ask me what I have learned,
The astrolabe and lyre are silent
But kiss me through the lustrous air
And even shadows will sigh for us
