Ode To Love

Whispers lost in gentle sighing,
Blown chances hung on shallow walls,
Hearts laid broken and crying,
Tear-drops run in raging falls,
Draw me down to darkened dreaming,
Long for me in silvered night,
Hold me true in tender arms,
Paper chains bind me in seeming,
Never again will I reach that height,
When you had broken all my qualms.

Heart-felt trumpets filled with laughter,
Kissing falls on gentle lips,
Lingering honey on tongues ever after,
Drunken down in longing sips.
Your eyes of turquoise sifting skies,
Your hands of softened lightning,
Run in charges of geese across my skin,
Loose me deep in gentle sighs,
Take me to depths so frightening,
That I will forever linger within.

To bring its end, to bring its life,
Intolerably cruel and terribly kind,
It fills the world in pain and strife,
And breaks apart many a mind,
A fatal draft, a slow death dance,
A lingering poisoned scar,
A hollow wound that pierces the heart,
Distant as a shining star,
You hold me in your witless trance,
I hope that never does this love depart.
