Another morning,
Listening to surf whispers
Beyond the night warmth,
With your body close to mine,
Your golden hair, like sunshine
Spread before my eyes,
And the scent of our loving
Still lingering close.
This moment will live with me
For all the mornings to come.
Listen to the wind
Crying it’s lonely heart songs,
As I cry for you.
One thing above all
Will stay in my memory,
The way my heart stopped,
And time held it’s breath, briefly,
When you first said, “I love you.”
I feel that moment,
Whenever I think of you,
I feel your warm breath
Gently caressing my cheek,
And my heart hears you again.
The glare of morning,
Diffused through dirty windows,
Tearing at eyelids
Sealed shut by a night of tears,
Perhaps pain has it’s good side.
Though I hold you in my heart,
And will forever more,
I’d rather hold you in my arms,
Upon a distant shore,
There, to keep you just for me,
To cherish at my side,
I’d pray you see my love as true,
And there with me, abide.
Or, if it would please you more,
I’d bow, here at your feet,
With most humble words, I would
Your gracious love, entreat.
If upon some star-lit night,
You’d look into my eyes,
There you’d see a passion, deep,
A love that never dies.
If you fear my love would be
A burden on your heart,
You have just one word to say,
And I will sadly, part.
There is little left to say,
And little left to do,
But place a kiss upon your lips,
And spend my life with you.
