Each To The Other Are - To My Love On A Not Sunny Day Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Each To The Other Are - To My Love On A Not Sunny Day

Rating: 5.0


LADY frown not
at this absence

of the sun

that hath so far
shone down

on everything
we done.

For we are all
the sun we need.

See! I shine on you!
You...you shine on me!

Nay...weep not this
mere absence

of sun

for we
a star

each to
the other are

& all of summer
& all its glorious loving

ripens succulently
like a glistening berry

in who
we each to the other

...are.

The merest kiss
...a star!

*******

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!

Alas! But what care I!

I doth love thee
whatever the weather

if thou but
shine on me

shine

on

me.

Reminds me of the famour Artic Monkeys song- Mardy Bum...if you have heard it. One of my favorites. Your poem is so ripe with the same kind of cuteness.: -)
