Give to me the strength, that I might climb the mountain of your soul, that I might feel the tremor of your heart as I think of your love, drifting slowly across my eyes...gazing back. Allow to me the exhilaration of standing upon the precipice, waiting to stretch arms into wings of fantasy as I fly and soar the curves of your mind and leave behind the traces of my lips. Bring to me the words that I might speak to you through my hands, that I might spell for you the word of joy, love, compelling compassion and desire, for I breathe each breath that I might rise tomorrow and find you there.... beside me... And, if I might not wake, leave to me the unspoken promise that you will lay a rose upon me....and leave behind a kiss upon still lips....that I might have you in eternity....into infinity....as my soul gazes upon you from the heights of our lofted, pristine world until again we are joined as one....

If her heart is your rose, this is the kiss of dew which surely keeps it soft and blooming.  |

And, if I might not wake, leave to me the unspoken promise that you will lay a rose upon me....and leave behind a kiss upon still lips....that I might have you in eternity....into infinity....as my soul gazes upon you from the heights of our lofted, pristine world until again we are joined as one.... this gave me a feeling of a world complete wanting nothing more then this... amazing |
