I watch you slumber
And taste the flickering lamplight licking at your skin
Capturing every exquisite detail of your face
Gray cloud dancers grieve in lyrical hush across your sleeping body
And I adore the agony of the mournful quiet rainfall
Crying on the window glass above your head
Your shadow is a rare desert flower dancing on a warm gentle breeze
And your soul a shimmering waterfall where angels go to weep
Dark deep swirling passionate hopeless grieving
My lips touch the essence of your spirit
You are an unceasing storm deep in my fragile heart
And your love softly adorns my crumpled tears
Awaken in my arms, my beloved!
And embrace the desire that consumes my soul
