Sonnet I Poem by Boston Kelley

These eyes of mine long to gaze upon you;
A heart of boundless love am I filled with;
Our hands should join, one made from two;
Oh, how this passion seems but a myth!
Who would dare separate such ecstatic lovers?
What power could break our everlasting bond?
The connection with you I hope to rediscover,
For you, my darling, am I ever so fond.
I look up to the heavens and see its wonders;
Those twinkling stars remind me of your beauty.
This romance between us can never be torn asunder,
For our souls have been made red as a ruby.
Come with me, and take my hand,
Embrace me with your loving warmth,
Let us leave this corporeal land,
And be one with the heavens thenceforth.
