Greeneyes
&
Larry C

You are the
shelter I desire
a place that’s safe
for me to feel

Somewhere between my
thoughts, my hands
memories call upon my mind
in a faint whisper

Revealing what I
desire and
why you bring
me peace

From amber eyes
and parting lips
a gentle night
falls over
the horizon

My thoughts
consummated in
the presence
of our
longing

Dance me until
The earth is still
A delicate flower
In your arms
Letting time fade to
This moment
