Epigrammatic Love Note Poem by Resten Swondo

Faith lingers a while, dreaming
Of loving sweet kisses
Roving in red passion.
Every lamp-lit e’en
Verity walks across the night,
Enchanting the starry darkness
Ringing her shining face.

Yawning, the Day rises
Older, but renewed
Under a crimson-lined sky,
Rising to ovations of robins
Soaked by damp moonlight.

In the day, all the world’s thoughts
Nestle in her bosom, lingering
Like the taste of the vine
On tongues of cherubs,
Verily, you are the grace of love,
Eternally, my horizon light.
