On breathless dreams I do inquire of your ability to hold me at will. When streets to shadows turn I will be there in the lamplight illuminated with a designation of love. If the wind stops tonight then I know my shivers would still reach you for I no longer need the wind to comfort me as long as your voice remains in my days and nights. Driftting on some shallow bit of hope was I before you crowned me maker of your dreams. I am love's home once more. There are windows lit with the flame of strength and the scent of dispair has long been overtaken by the clarity of being known for who I am. I no longer play peek a boo with my truths. Love comes to my soul and lips more often because you have stepped inside shut the door and blocked that cold wind from the light kissed shatterings of my will. Broken pieces no longer scatter at the delight of mischief. Warm my body with the furnace of your arms. Warm my spirit with the love that sings within your chest. Sing me a song. Take the catch in my voice and dance with it. Read me a poem of love on the table of midnight that hour when things appear most mysterious. Long for me. Let me be my heart and give me room to grow. Let me rain on you as you open your mouth to receive my joys. I will love you as I do love you. And we will live in total understanding. We will chop logs of life to throw on the fire of our passion an endless consuming gathering of flames will light our need for each other. We will love as we now love... all conditions cast aside. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

*sigh*. This is indeed beautiful. Heavenly in its words and thoughts of pure love. You are both lucky indeed to have found each other, and this sings of that love, contentment and happiness. Lovely. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

You write of love with such affection. I enjoyed the gentle tenderness in each and every word. This was so pretty Temptress. |

Absolutely beautiful. And the ending is as love should be: 'We will love as we now love... all conditions cast aside' |
