Of Missing You

Of Missing You
====================

Hearken the murmur of my heart,
Dear lady, as it beats your name,
Rapt from earthly holds,
Into a poet's quiet domain,
Forlorn by the painful absence,
Of your beatific smile's solace,
My soul writhes in these words,
Severed from your radiant countenance,
Dear lady, Heavens' first perfection,
The Quintessence of my life's laughter,
You left your mark, branded in my soul,
You alone are this heart's veneer...
