Under the dreamy eyes could this line be struck in favor of letting the title lead into L2? (might be more a stylistic choice than an improvement)
of my love, I slept
away the days and months, tomorrows
that went in a whisper. perhaps "with" for "in" - not sure, but you might be asking whisper to demarcate time passage?
Her familiar smell
and hair fringing a fairy circle
on my face -
these and more, I miss today some combination of "here" or "now" might feel more immediate than today
on the purple hill, its sad sun’s rays
dying into darkness. Wherever you are,
my love, I pray it is light. this last bit is really good and deserves its purple.
