SECURE
Shield me fold upon fold
Tight as a bud, secure in
The prime of moon's swooning

Let the freshness of morning,
Jewel me dewdrops, to awaken
My desire, for cloud filled skies;

Oh harness the songs of birds
Twittering for another dawn
Of dreams that poets may pen

To say nay, to look away,
Surely you jest, for i wither,
I wilt, without morning light

    Oh Gillena this is beautiful..!! Lovely rhythm and flow. Especially adore these lines:

    To say nay, to look away,
    Surely you jest, for i wither,
    I wilt, without morning light

    I was going to put down the lines I love but it began to be the whole poem. This is one of my favorites of yours.
