May the sun ever shine <br /> upon your hair <br /> may stardust light your way. <br />So the glory you enfold <br /> may shine forth like a rainbow <br /> made of elfin coloured gold. <br /> <br />May the wind ever cool your brow <br /> and whisper <br /> to you of wonders <br /> it has seen on other days. <br />So you may ever walk <br /> in a fresh tender breeze <br />while the wind serenades sings <br /> for you among the enchanted trees. <br /> <br />Telling you of stories as wondrous <br /> as tints of Autumn’s falling leaves <br />yet amazingly diverse <br /> like the springtime flight of bees. <br /> <br />Sacred bees should fly <br /> only to the sweetest <br />of wild meadow flower, <br /> then seek out far flung blooms <br />treasures that grace <br /> only secret hidden glades. <br /> <br />In remembrance of starset lovers <br /> in consecrated blessing <br /> of their finest hour. <br /> <br />Gathered nectar <br /> mixed on nuptial wind <br />Greek gods <br /> would bring to me <br />upon your lips <br /> only could it <br />honoured be <br /> a cup of honeyed wine <br />would I give to thee. <br /> <br />Fain would the angels be <br /> when I held that cup to thee. <br /> <br />I would give you wine and song <br /> to bless the startling memory <br /> <br />of first reborn celestial day, <br /> veiled in radiance, you came along. <br /> <br />When you touched my heart <br /> with a love, pure, endures ever lasts. <br />Took me from cold depths of stone <br /> to a jewel, radiant shines for us alone. <br /> <br />In another world we roam <br /> always together <br /> never more apart <br /> <br />on breath of love <br /> that endures longer <br /> than mere mortal heart. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © Terence George Craddock<br /><br />Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cup-of-wine-would-i-give-thee/
