Love Poem: In the Still of the Night

In the Still of the Night

In the still of the night
I hear you whisper
Your voice flies on the air
Coming to me at twilight
The still made ever crisper
By your words so fair

From a world away my love calls
And I hear the gentle sound
As it lightly caresses my ear
To her knees she falls
Praying her love is found
My voice will calm her fear

She feels my hands in her hair
Tugging the strings of passion
Tilting her head to me
Catching her breath in my stare
Master of her vision
Letting her soul be free

A million miles apart
Within my words she is never lost
To her existence I spake
The lord of her heart
My vow to her is cast
Her trust to never break

To our own universe we go
Forsaking all others we go
This one thing I know
My love she will know
This precious gift to her I send
To love her forever and to the end

The day we meet and make our paradise
I'll take her hand and make her mine
Around her neck I place the strand
Together beyond the rest of our lives
Through neverending space and time
Collared by my loving hand

My love is powerful and deep
My hold is firm and hard
Driving forward our existence
Her heart in mine I keep
Never shall it be marred
Giving in to my insistence

Oceans between us
Hearts together as one
Souls once united
Oceans of love
Hearts ablaze
Souls entwined

In the still of the night
It's my name she whispers
At it's sound my soul does flare
Dancing in the firelight
Her image in the cinders
The flames hold my stare

In the still of the night
She comes to me
