Render me speechless.
Fill me with longing and
Render me motionless.
Take away my ability to sigh and
Render me breathless.
Capture my heart and
Render me helpless.
Do all this and let the flood tide roll
The dam burst open
The emotion like a tidal wave
Pouring out to drown me in its intensity
At the intensity you possess
Dropping me into that dark, still night
The connection alive and strong
The hesitant pause, the breath
Just breathe… in your presence
Where I hide my face behind my hands
And you steal the blush from my skin
Where I bury my head into my elbow
And you coax the smile from my lips
An age apart … a world
A tiny worry of another life
The small doubt that tweaks at the mind
A dark twitch inside as
The universe
Giving a double edged gift
The gilt shard … sharp and piercing
Like cupids arrow
Bringing us together
Only to keep us apart
A Fate so cruel
As our souls ache
And dream of moonlit cliffs
Redolent with unfolding petals
Of fragrant lust
And dancing eyes
Of ghostly visits
In the dead of night
To catch my fleeing form
And caress the line
Of my clenching jaw
Then you, only you…always you,
Forever you, can
Render me senseless
And hopelessly
In love…
