All For You
by
McKenna Byrne
For you I weave a damask of deep care,
And lay it on a table set for two;
For you I hasten through the freezing air
Of winter, and the heat of summer, too.
For you I spread dark veiling of the night
About us - sequestering sweet secret hours
Of whisperings, until the morning light
Jealously deposes what is ours.
For you I wait, and if the sun appears,
I cannot differentiate its heat
From burning furor, as your presence nears,
Within my blazing veins, the hour we meet.
In all my life, would all I ever do
Be all as wonderful as all I do for you.
