The movement of time

Slows

Quivers

In your eyes

The future of my universe

Lives

Happily

In your smile

**

All that I am

All that I’ll be

Rises

Like the sun as

You gaze

Into me

**

Your lips smooth as

Silk

Moist

With their longing

Pull me like

The moth

Into your

Fire

Of

Belonging

**

Your lips slowly

Rising

Like the moon

Pulls the tide

Your skin shines

Like diamonds

Twinkling

In the

Sky

**

The ease of your

Smile

Is like heaven

To me

Like a bird

On a wing

I float

Effortlessly

**

Into the soft warm

Embrace

Of your

Calming

Caress

**

All my dreams

My wishes

My hopes

Come true

**

To be blessed

With

This gift

This love

That is

You!
