Entranced...
I gaze with longing expectation
cursing the stars and the seas
that have placed you
so far away from me.
Beating...
my heart it thumps inside my ears
and I...
I can almost feel you near
with each time I close my eyes
and wake to burning skies of dawn
I inhale and imagine
what your hair would smell like
in the morn....
My lips...
they burn for your kiss
to touch and to slip
across the plains of wrist
your back and your hips
to taste with utmost urgency
and hear the way your moans
would fill my ears
or soothe away your fears
on the nights when smiles falter
and I...
...dream of being the one to hold you.
Every day
despite our distance I wake
with you in mind.
Each night
despite the boundaries I sleep
with you held tight
inside my soul...
...I taste the kisses of your lips
and hear the murmur of your voice
feel the beating of your heart
and know...
...while you are not here
you are.
And while I am so far
I'm there...
Because my mind is always on you
and you are always on my mind,
is this some unkind
joke of the gods?
Or are you the one I'm meant to find,
a promise of what is to come
my inspiration to build up
my personal empire
to house you as my privilaged guest,
my best,
my quest,
my queen....
...my goddess....
my muse?
I will wait for you,
Because I know,
girls like you are rare
if any more exist at all,
and I will wait till I can hold you
until time falls....

This was dedicated to Natalie...but now stands as a work of it's own. Funny how we can so foolishly think we have found "the one" when we nothing about them at all....
