Longing From Your View
Longing from Your View
You walked into the room; my heart quivered.
Your beauty far outreached the distant stars.
Wanting in my body dreamed and shivered.
To spend a night with you, I’d fly from mars.
They say that in your heart lies mystery.
Impossible; what searching cannot find.
When hurt struck deeply, hope burned blistery.
Forsaking every lusting, love might bind.
Intrigued into the night by you, so fine.
The fantasy within my head grew strong.
Restraining boldness, dreaming up my line.
I’d gain your trust and sing a new love song.
By two a.m. courageousness had grown.
Decidedly, I put my bottle down.
And took a step toward the great unknown.
To promised her the world, king of the town.
You looked into my eyes; my heart quivered.
Your splendor far outreached my dreams by far.
Suppressing any fear, my hope shivered.
And fantasy was living under stars.
