Into My Arms

As if to bless with daylights warm embrace
     You come to me, my love, in hallowed grace
     This softness held as purest pleasures speak
     Tis of such treasured grail my heart doth seek

     Brushed by strokes of love, one's eyes dare behold
     Of palette's mingled dreams pray hopes lay told
     To rise in hues that must truly speak of thee
     From such artist's gifts, desire wouldst surely see

     This thirst will not be quenched absent your taste
     Nor for less this moment misspend or waste
     With willing arms hold close so true this heart
     Yet less one soul should bade us ere to part

     Take this my love in tribute due
     No more than that I ask of you
