Heart of night

Something in your smile still gets to me,

even though I only see you from afar.

The scent you left on my heart I crave,

with each secret kiss you sneak.

The way the light hits your eyes in the night,

or how the wind gently arouses your hair.

So many moments I see in your touch,

so much to love even still.

In your kiss so sweet my heart fades,

beating to dreams as reality calls.

Hiding beneath of the water tonight,

expecting for your silhouette to cross me.

I love you in the moonlight,

I need you as the sun shines our way.

I want you as worlds collide,

I desire you when all else is gone.

Your face is my angel of fire,

so soft are your lips my wine.

Your love is more than forever,

mine was painted in the stars for you.

Break me apart from these treasures,

seek me tonight where we’d play.

In the night where our nakedness awakens,

my heart will always hold your name.
