Night gaze
Tear haze
Restless movement of heart in ache
Shhh..
Can you hear the breeze whisper me a fantasy
Of holding you just once in my arms?
Hush now
For this beating organ of elusive innocence
Knows only purity for you
And understanding
And holding loosely to your voice
Rest your head here as your heart aches,
And if only for an impossible moment,
Revel here in my love
However inevitable
However intrusive.
Each time I speak to you I try to set aside my passion.
Each time your voice softly interferes with my night,
I try to put aside the fact that I need you.
Each night...
Shhh..
Tears
Rest now for there are more nobler things to be done.
Shh..
Tears
Cease now for there are better images than broken hearts to be considered
Shhh...
Rest, cease, leave me, be gone,
For there is a friend who needs me,
And I choose to be there,
Without my tears if I can.

still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d
I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Temptress, I do hope you find a way to tell the special one your feelings and not harm the friendship. Hugs, ME

Very emotional write, Temptress. Sometimes we have to set aside the tears in order to see what is there. Best of luck to you.

by the grace of God.
