Shameless Moon

Shall I cry out
to the shameless moon
hanging jealously in the e'en sky

myself a pilgrim journeying
to romance's door
this,a fool's heart
I carry in my chest
once harboring secrets
now bared on my lapel
love be mine
this night of grand illusions
as I seek a maiden of beauty
shoed in glass slippers
for they are not to be found
wandering the promenades
of ordinary men
luck be mine
romance's gift has befallen me
the village cobbler come to court
village aristocracy
every man's desire
parochial assets I carry for the task
charm and great whit
were never mine
polite,obedient and retiring am I
my guess,that's what won her heart
though 'tis widely known
father's wealthy legacy to me
I hold secure in my dowry chest
shameless moon
your jealousy overflows the sky
for this night is mine
this night I'll secure
love true and pure
plain for any fool to see
envy will walk the village streets
when this cobbler and aristocracy
unite in everlasting
love and matrimony
and you shameless moon
must sit and wait
for the wolves to bay

this is so romantic and brings to mind a swashbuckler fighting for his love even with the moon if it dare disagree with him;-) Fantastic imagery, Jon!
