    I Must Not Stay 

    DateSaturday, February 6, 2010 at 6:53PM

    I must not write of our Candlelight

    I must not speak of our soft delight

    I must not say

     

    I must not try to hold your eyes

    I must not prize this life’s surprise

    I must not pray

     

    I must not shake your castle wall

    I must not take this feathered fall

    I must not stay
