Burning the Midnight Oil.

My Love. (Burning the Midnight Oil.)
___________________

As I sit here burning the Midnight Oil,

(which surpasses the Moon in length 

and meets the Sun each Day.) 

it is For Your Love I Toil.

(with Hope it will not End in Flames.)

For You, I will practice a Patience I have

never known before. Holding back the

dark rivers of doubt which fill my head

and keep me from The Better things worth

living for.

In your Eyes I see a Promise. To share

the entirety of your haunted Heart.

So in return I shall give you Mine.

(and may We never be torn apart.)

I feel within me that Together Two Ghosts

may once again know what it is to Be Alive,
and bask in the Presence of Loves everlasting light!

It is For This (my Love ) that I burn the oil

well after midnight.
