Michaelmas Valentine

I'm the same age now
As he was when he received
The invitation to the wedding
Of the king and queen
While I'm still waiting
For a subtle sign or even
A little bit of heaven to open
My cloudy eyes to read
The true history of the soul
He left behind at the center
The vision of Venus sleeping
The pang of her beautiful being
Still pounding in his heart
And what she would say on waking
