Spirit of A Thousand Winds

I thought I had told you, I have never
loved someone like this,
or felt the touch of a spirit
 like a thousand winds
 wrap around my moments in this way.

 Look me in the eye and taste the passion
 of this wine that pours from my heart.
 You will then know the chemistry
that makes up the rhythm of truth
 in these words I speak to you.

 Listen to how much easier the rain falls
 because we hear calmer waters
when we sail on the river
of our sweetest emotions.    

I thought you knew how I dream
of drawing the curtains of love’s intoxication
 across our windows
and calling off our search for different skies.
 I was sure you understood
 how my fingertips trace one hundred places
 on your face that I love more each time
 I seek them out with my eyes.  

I thought I had told you,
I have never loved someone like this,
but perhaps I merely spoke these words in my mind.
 So I tell you now, I speak them aloud,
 to let there be no questions
 running in the meadow of everything we feel.
 I have never loved anyone
as I love you.  

Take my hand
and let’s draw the curtains
 of love’s intoxication across our windows.
  Let us shut out the world
 and sail on the river of our sweetest emotions.
 I will trace those places on your face
 that I adore with all I am.
 Come wrap me in your spirit
 of a thousand winds.

"Draw the curtains of love's intoxication across our windows"

This perfect line stands out to me for it's sheer beauty and imagery. If you had written nothing else, this alone would suffice. Added to my favourites.
