To You My Dear

A Simple Sestina

By Mary BensonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

To you my dear, my one and only,

My true and faithful love,

Not even eternity can surpass a day.

For the moments I fight to have

With you, who set my heart free.

All I ask is a little of your time.

Not even a glance to check the time

Is needed, for that would only

Cut the ever fleeting moments free,

And render short the burning love

Of which for you I have

And waste away the day.

I will never forget the day.

On my mind all the time,

Is every precious moment I have.

With you my love I only,

Wish to show you how great my love

For you can be. How you set me free.

To you who have freed

A tormented soul. The day

No longer seems so long my love.

I could spend all of time

Counting every moment with you. If only

One more moment I could have.

With little patience I have,

Waiting at once for what’s free

Knowing that you only

Could show me the perfect day.

Once more I loose time

Lost in the depths of your love.

Burning passion, consuming love

For you and only you. I have

Never once forsaken a moment of time.

Oh so delicate, oh so perfect, free.

Once more I spend the days

Counting the precious moments for you only.

For you only my love,

All my days, you will have

My heart freely, till the end of time.
