Silently stealthily

Under the blanket of darkness

Where not even a shadow of the moon exists

I journey out to try to find my way.

Oblivious to the weathers around me

I blindly venture out to try to find you,

For even in the deafening silence

I can hear your voice calling me…

Even in the air devoid of warmth

I can sense your touch on my skin.

Even in the dark oblivion

I can see your eyes brimming with mirth.

Longing for that laugh…..

Fluid and soft…

With only the desire

To drink up the laughter

To hold it close and dear forever

As if a vain attempt to capture the magic

That defies even the most romantic of hearts.

Magic,

So that when the snows fall in the mountains

I hear your laughter echoing in the deep valleys

And smoke rises from the smitten grounds.

Magic,

So that when the clouds bring their rains….

Sheets of water on sultry summer nights…

I feel my skin burning with every drop….

Hoping to burn away….

Melt away in the passing night.

Like a pang of sorrow

I forever feel that dull ache

Deep in the depths of my heart.

A constant reminder of that which I do not have…

Always yearning for even a simple glimpse…

To walk away into the night

Quietly taking you into my arms

And losing myself in your silky tresses

Softly singing a lullaby

To wash away all the worries of the world….

Hoping the day will never drown

Into the sea of sky…

Nor the night to ever end
With its ever-present ethereal light

As if stuck in a solitary moment

Where time has stood still for us

Where the past nor future have a bearing

And my only thought and desire is you

And existing in this moment

There is only us…

Only me….

Only you…
