You Are My Light Across The Horizon

 

You are hiding in my heart, my thoughts, my dreams

A sweetly scented secret…

Like waiting for the bud of a rose to bloom

Clouding my vision…

With your scent lingering sweetly around me

Holding me vigilant in your soft, bewitching spell

 

Although I know not what, or who you are

I feel your very essence floating in the air...

With a thirst so in need of quenching

Desires... needing your soft embrace

The tender touch of your fingers on my skin

And the warmth of your lips on my cheek

For life-giving waters to bathe my heart, my soul

 

Longingly searching for eyes that shine

Patiently waiting for your return

With every part of me...

Breathing in the essence of you

That still lingers so sweetly in the air 

Just a thought am I without you

Floating aimlessly…

On tender tendrils of time and antiquity

Waiting for your softly spoken words

To paint eternal stars in my heart

Waking my soul…

With twinkling, dusted rays of moonlite
