Searched Have I The Starry Sky Poem by David Lacey

Searched have I the starry sky
For a eyes alike your own
Yet never have I known love alike
The love for you I’ve grown.

The sun pales in comparison
With your radiance,
As the eyes of the Goddess Venus
Taint their stare an emerald green in envy
When confronted by your form.

She is raging, turning the pages of history
In an attempt to find a beauty beyond your boundary
But no smile can she find that sets free
Alike yours the heart of the poet in love.

And lost in desperation
Sick of seeking that which I know
Will only be found in your arms
I lay down my heart defenceless to your sword.
Slay the dreams of love if your heart is sure
But know that no cure will resurrect
My heart once torn of hope.

I am yours, forever at your mercy
Forever wishing to know your kiss,
The kiss that I’ve been missing,
The kiss that I’ve been searching for
Throughout every life I’ve ever known.

Searched have I the starry sky
For a girl alike yourself
And now I know where it is she lies
I can not place emotion upon the shelf
And disguise a love that consumes me so.

I guess I just thought you should know.
