Essence of love

The snow melts as I sit here smiling with you,

the lights are dim, your eyes are so bright.

Winter winds chill my soul burning for your touch,

welcoming the pain in everything that you do.

Your smile lights my soul on fire in heaven’s lie,

touching the face of a Goddess, touched by your lips.

In a kiss so alive all deaths break away from my mind,

feeling your passion in the pleasure we create.

Rain starts to fall upon our hearts, so wet, so free,

facing you in my arms I let go of what I see.

Your arms around me, my only safety left,

worlds fall apart but not when in your arms.

Nightly images flash in front of my eyes,

yearning for the only love I have in my life.

Birds fly away as you whisper in my ear,

of dreams and love mixing into one.

Winds grow stronger in your hands,

heartbeat becomes so silent.

Rapidity speaking pulse creating life and love,

waking in all images known inside.

Moon has fallen before your feet where I lay,

hands on your knees, eyes locked on yours.

The touch of your fingers on my face,

making this the very essence of our love.
