aching for you
staring at the moon
rising slowly in a cool
lonely evening sky…
I feel that wave
of utter love wash
across my soul
drifting in the tide

hands cupped
silently suffocating
for your touch,
I imagine that look
in those pretty eyes
a secret window
paradise reserved
only for me

I need to hold you
let go of everything
laugh with you
cry with you
kiss your sweet lips
and make love
until the dawn’s
tiny angels smile

nothing in this world
compares to our passion,
still, I get terrified
when the tide ebbs…
then awestruck as
we fall in love again,
and again
for eternity
