Eyes that see through me
And hands of human clay
Ears that hold my plea
And mouth upon I pray
These are the things I entreat
Inside my mind, if not portray
I’m waiting for the light to show
Waiting, for the afterglow

Make me whole and entire
With warmth and arms around
Making our own little fire
Listen to the peaceful sound
This, my life, you inspire
For this, I won’t come back down
I’m waiting for the love to grow
Waiting, for the afterglow

Don’t let me fall from so high
And only these things, bring
So that I forget how it was to cry
And the pendulum starts to swing
Look only into my burning eyes
They only mean everything
I’m waiting for time to overthrow
Waiting, for the afterglow

I've read this several times this morning... and found it more exquisite with every read. Beautiful work!!

It seems to me that you are wrapped in the glow of love and the poem holds the afterglow ...

Beautiful!

Love,
