Fading Into You

I sleep the night to dream your whispers,
Your gentle touch of ocean eyes.
Your masked marauding captures me,
In all your worlds of shared disguise.

To fade into your heart each night,
To hold each beat then offered me.
A promise felt in every way,
From each caress, eternally.
~~ Chorus ~~
Secrets shared beneath the covers.
Two enwrapped, in sweet retreat.
Sighs exposing, treasures found,
When nights silence enters deep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Come each morn, when light has broken,
Memories reach to touch the pale.
The guise, once more becomes the normal,
Another dawning, to leave it's trail.

A painted canvas breaks the silence,
Eyes take in what hearts do bare.
Widening the view, horizons,
Opening new worlds to share.
~~ Chorus ~~
Secrets shared beneath the covers,
Warmed by moonlight's blanket, soft.
Stolen moments held in fullness,
Dreaming whispers sent aloft.~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is beautiful...I believe I hear the song...it comes across softly...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

A ballad? Don't know, but this is one beautifully written poem! I read this, instead of singing it, and I love music, but this one just flowed off the tongue with a soft, caressing flow.  
This is very, very, beautiful  
Enjoyed it much.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..

Wynter....Do you mind if I send this to a special friend?...it describes a night we had perfectly

If this does not come from your personal experience take it from me you hit the nail directly on the head in your description

Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

Wynter....you did very well. The recurring chorus is a prime ingredient of a good ballad. I, for example, do not write ballads. Mine are more like narratives. I just didn't want to call myself the Narrateer!

Wynter~
Such a softly flowing piece -
truly a lilting tune.
I like it !
