You and I have been for 17 moons <br />Seventeen I would rather stretch for eternity <br />But precious Providence's boons <br />Allows for new times everyday <br />To exist together in our own entity <br />In view of the orbs of your light will I play. <br />Rejoicing in the sheer mirth of your attention <br />More days of linking your arm in mine <br />Showing you off, the object of my affection <br />Your shimmering skin puts starry nights to shame <br />Welling joy in my heart, making dark times fine <br />If asked what you are I'll call you Wiseman's flame. <br />The jewel on top of a dragon's hoard <br />Arousing passion, making sadness tame <br />Surely you surpass palm wine in a gourd <br />Clear and sweet but nonetheless intoxicating and beautiful <br />Your beauty's potency calls to me beyond picture frames <br />Calming me, telling me of everything meaningful. <br />Will you take my hand and step into the future? <br />Ignore this litany, let us challenge this adventure.<br /><br />Oke Christopher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lunar-xvii/
