The Best Poem Of Brian Charlton

The Shrouded Jewel

A kiss of radiance, it is, that wets my very cheek

Immersing in my presence, showing me undiscovered peaks

I question you a dream, or but a temporal shimmer

You dwell in me irrevocably, bringing my temperance to a simmer

My adoration knows no bounds, when it comes to your joy of life

You live to be, and strive to see, moments free of strife

Though yet I've never met you, you find shelter in my mind

A dream to hold, to enlighten me towards, a simpler way of life

I only wish my path might free me of my vines,

And that in time I needn't feel to hold you as divine

For to have you is a tale I cannot see as one that might unwind

So I wish upon myself, a day where our passions seep together

Where I am strung, to sing you songs, undisturbed by fervent weather

For on that day, I hope might lay, on the horizon of mine and yours

A proclamation of my faithfulness, the key to your love's door
