Alas-wish I may, wish I might- <br />Lest I shan't take in the grace of her visage tonight, <br />Not until I lie myself down to sleep <br />Do I have the same, all the while, to keep! <br /> <br />Fault me not, for I am wanton of such, <br />Naught is there to compare with her tender touch! <br />Though long since have I heard her Angelic voice, <br />It has not been for lack of want, I had not a choice! <br /> <br />Blessed be the one who need not respite <br />To drink in this beauty, so exquisite: <br />For it is he who may celebrate in every way <br />As though it were always St. Valentine's Day! <br /> <br />Wish this do I, for me and the one unseen- <br />Pondering amorously, what should have been! <br /> <br />Maurice Harris,14 February 2009<br /><br />Maurice Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wish-i-may-wish-i-might-2/
