Faerie Queene

Like Spenser’s Gloriana
In his poem Faerie Queene
You shine brightly in
My heart, tired from
Fruitless searching for
One who loves me back.
Whatever happens to us,
You have given me greater
Joy in our mutual love than
I ever expected to find again.
Each day knowing that
You love me back is
Treasure far, far
Beyond
Words.
You
Mesmerize
Me with your
Smile, bedazzle with
Your laughter.
I am made
Whole by
Your
Sweet love.
Protective pessimism
Has no place in
Hearts in
Love.
Though,
It is something
To keep in mind.
Edmund S.
Would
Understand,
With a Gloriana,
A bit of sunscreen.
