You

Thoughts of you
fill me;
I can see your face and smile;
I want to lie with you
for a little while;
Just listening
to you breathe;
In my arms,
you rise and fall,
in gentle dream;
I want to hold you
forever;
My soul reaches out to caress
your heart.
I listen for the shadows;
They fail to come.
We are alone;
Together,
Entwined,
Beating
to each other's hearts.
I want to say three words to you,
but make no sound;
It would break the divine silence.
Gently ,
You raise your head
and kiss my cheek,
as a peaceful tear of happiness
touches my lips.
