Awaken, My Love

 

Ah pink the ocean shelled morning glows as my kiss

     whispers love to your sleepy eyes, Precious jewel.

    Madonna of the deepest sighs,

    before you slumbered in tranquil dreams,

      your love rose like full moonbeams on silver skies.

 

Let not a moment pass but with heartbeat singing,

   your eyes dancing, your voice ringing, your love

    lingering on my forehead like the blessed light.

Yes in mellow hours your honeyed spirit kiss is bliss

    and when far from me in dreams I seek you,

  like the sailor seeks portside though in starboard gaze.

Let candle scented waters again gently embrace

    your tender body as I kiss your face.

 

Love is sacred wine poured into clay cups overflowing

   and song a trail of bubbles your movement inspires.

Come rise from your golden dome of princess fires,

   and awaken to find peace at by my side forever.
