Love Poem for Today - Good Morning Sweetpea

Good morning Micah and Good Morning Gentle Readers -

Here is a love poem for today - I think I will post some now and again - for all the lovers out there - in SL and in so-called Real Life - who want to speak to their loved ones in a special voice.

I apologise in advance for making them be always about gay love - but - well - having spent years in school studying authors I knew were gay writing "straight" poems I think it is only fair.

So here is a love poem for today -

He Walks In Beauty like the night
a poem by Lord Byron
(Modified to be properly Gay by Gabe)

He walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in his aspect and his eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er his face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
