LADY frown not <br />at this absence <br /> <br />of the sun <br /> <br />that hath so far <br />shone down <br /> <br />on everything <br />we done. <br /> <br />For we are all <br />the sun we need. <br /> <br />See! I shine on you! <br />You...you shine on me! <br /> <br />Nay...weep not this <br />mere absence <br /> <br />of sun <br /> <br />for we <br />a star <br /> <br />each to <br />the other are <br /> <br />& all of summer <br />& all its glorious loving <br /> <br />ripens succulently <br />like a glistening berry <br /> <br />in who <br />we each to the other <br /> <br />...are. <br /> <br />The merest kiss <br />...a star! <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />Our first love was made glorious by this sun of York and now our first tentative meeting after that threatens not to be a sunny day! <br /> <br />Alas! But what care I! <br /> <br />I doth love thee <br />whatever the weather <br /> <br />if thou but <br />shine on me <br /> <br />shine <br /> <br />on <br /> <br />me.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/each-to-the-other-are-to-my-love-on-a-not-sunny-day/
