Here I stand before you, longing
Called to life by your desire
Manifest incarnate yes
Your idea of satisfaction
Unsatisfied no longer
Listen to my voice as memory
Let me kiss you as you’ve wanted
Dance to mystic music, smiling
Whispered words
Unspoken passion
Uncharted wisdom
Unbound desire
Kissing
All at once
As revelation
Looking through the eyes of wonder
Mind is racing, falling under
Spells as conjuring’s as wanting’s
Asking if I’m a question or an answer
You ask and ask again, undaunted
For now, I am an answer
Let me explain
In a way, you can easily understand
I’ve known you for so long it’s true
You have brought me out before to play
From the oceans of your soul, so dark
To future’s past and fast-forgotten
Remembering only loss or sorrow
But I give to you
A new memory
Sweet angel, take my hand and feel
Place it on your heart and listen
Feel your need
So now I feel
As heat
As fire
As promises
To remain
To stay
To never leave
Another memory I give to you
Hold my face and draw me close
Kiss me as if time stands still
For there are no shadows here
Hiding behind moonbeams
No rays of sun beneath the rain
Only roses on your bedroom floor
As a soft, fragrant rug
Sweet beneath our feet
To guide our footsteps into a garden
Free from curious eyes
What was once hidden
You have tenderly released
For I was with you in dreams
On days so lonely
Known yet still unknown
In music, art, and moving stories
In words in books
You knew my name
And did not speak
Afraid, yet you’ve always known me
But doubt so clouded blue sky logic
Inside out, you turned
Butterflies
Summer lies
In silence as a blanket
We sometimes hide under
Now you feel you’ve touched the stars
On cosmic plains
On silver screens
As characters in stories told
Symphonies played as love unfolds
This magnificent thing
You once read about
Elusive always hiding
Between words of starving writers
But I was always here for you
There for you
Where you were
Where you are
Where you’ve been
While waiting
Keeping you restless
In your thoughts
In your bed
Longing to be held
To be kissed
To be loved
Love!
There…I’ve said it!
