Messages In The Wind

Stand, my love, beneath these same stars,
That sparkle to steal my eyes,
Even a continent away,
Dance for me under a moon that pulls,
Restless tides,
Of brooding ponds,
That distance,
But will never separate.
Two lovers made one,
Heavenly decreed,
Eternal mates.

Count the echos between thrumms,
And hum lyrics hushed between beats,
Your heart sends to me like messages,
Floating loyally in a crystal ship,
Bobbing with the ebb and flow,
Of the ocean,
Mimicking, my anticipation,
Mocking my raised chin,
As it turns urgently in the direction,
Of any sound that bears your name.

Breathe in deeply, my love, the wind,
For it carries to you,
Whispers of my enduring love,
Like graceful messengers,
From, the throne from which you reign,
Ruling my heart with your sweetness,
Presiding over my heart with grace.
Fill your lungs with this breeze,
Exhaling in my direction,
So that it returns to me,
Though bitter-sweet,
To reassure me of your,
Loving eternal intentions.

Bathe yourself in this sun,
This giant promise of new days,
That your fragrant glow,
Might radiate,
Even a quarter over the globe,
To fill my depths with your essence,
Sensual, rapturing, and pure,
To be absorbed deeply
into the fathoms of my soul.

Do these things in deference,
To the love we carry forth,
Bask in these moments,
As healing salve,
That helps you to endure,
These still moments,
And stretched seconds,
Pausing unfairly,
Far from me,
As I await you,
On the shore.
