Madman Poet in Love II

Luz de mi vida

Plainly clad in modest robes,
Found I a purpose amongst my woes.
Fair and pristine northern star,
Be my guide and cast away my throes.

Need you no guise but your smile,
To turn to ashes all that is vile.
White flame, fulgor of my soul,
Burning cease not, lest you love defile!

Shed no light upon the land,
Let the giving Moon avail, be grand.
Save your glow, make it my own,
Shine upon me, always by me stand.

Inspire me always, burn bright,
Tend me all throughout the lonely night.
At my bedside keep me warm,
Oh candle of life, the cold do fight!

When the noble Moon has run,
Brighten my daylight, dazzle the sun.
I need you, I need you, love,
Light of my life, ‘till my time is done.
