Poem: "Beside You"

"Beside You"

Night fades away
ever slowly
as dreams of you
linger

Your face haunts me
where ever I go
every time I close my eyes
I see you there
with me

Your scent clings to the pillow
the memory of your aching touch
imprinted my naked, desperate body
never forgotten but forever
lovingly remembered

The stars may shine
with heavenly brilliance

The moon may illuminate
with subtle light

The rain may fall
wet and expectant

But all the wonders of the world
all that I have ever known
or hope to believe or see

Pales beside the beauty
that is you

I need you

I love you

I want you

My darling
beloved
come closer to me

And let me share
the secret desires
that have been locked away for so long

Yet you stand there
unclothed and longing
holding the key

Wearing nothing
but a smile
and those lips
parted

Anticipating the rapture
that is soon to take place

I love you, darling
how I have always loved you
and I love you still.
