Ethereal Harpist
Ethereal harpist
my soul you caress
infusing my tune
with a sweet happiness.
Gently you pluck
at the strings of my heart
giving my song
a new meaningful part.
I seek you in darkness
beyond what is real
and cling to the ways
your soft touch makes me feel.
I hold to you tightly
and wait for the night
where fantasy reigns
over all that is right.
I dream of the comfortable
warmth of your arms
enchanted by trinkets
of heartwarming charms.
Words on a page
cutting right to my soul
filling my emptiness
making me whole.
Each of your words
like a soft gentle kiss
remind me of life's
simple pleasures I miss
In such sweet surrender
with you I could live
for you know not to take
till I'm begging to give.
Ethereal harpist
caressing my soul
playing my heart
to the measure of whole
A lifetime of emptiness
left for to deem
to wake up and find
you are only a dream.
