I see you fair in memory’s sweet abode <br />‘tis truly there with you I long to be <br />To touch again ‘fore daydream walls erode <br />Thy lips of red, o passion, mine to thee <br /> <br />In passion do I feel the tempest rise <br />Rise to meet the moonlight’s sweet caress <br />To see myself in love there in your eyes <br />And in thy garden dare to find me rest <br /> <br />O damn the world that holds this body bound <br />N’er content, my spirit yearns to search the wind <br />‘tis there in sweet repose my love is found <br />And there I long to be with you again <br /> <br />For in fair memory’s eye no care there be <br />And to thy heart, mine own, I’d give to thee<br /><br />Christopher Thor Britt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fair-memory-2/
