Love Poem: Missing You

Missing You

Snowing tonight ~ whispering, luminescent, dazzling, romantic... 
                             Air misty, mellow ~ wind calm, serene, 
           Sights outside blurred, indistinct through the hazy window glasses, 
                       Rooftops getting blanketed with white laces ~ 
                               A picturesque winter wonderland, 

                           Treetops embellished with silver ornaments, 
                             grasses caressed by soft touches of snow,  
                                          My heart is with you, 
                    Craving for the profound tenderness of your embraces ~
                                              If only you knew. 

                         At the first demure light of dawn, open my eyes, 
                                           It's only you I think of. 
                             In between numerous mundane chores, 
                            Multitude of unavoidable responsibilities, 
                             Hours of running meaningless errands, 

                                             I ponder about you. 
                       At the end of an arduous day, when retiring to bed, 
                      who fills my heart with the warmth of magical dreams?
                     You ~ the twinkle of your eyes, the passionate soft kisses~
                               envelop the breath of this forlorn damsel, 
                                              If only you knew! 

               Sometimes a mysterious dream may wake you up at midnight, 
                                                You wonder why! 

                             I muse and create, pour my deepest thoughts, 
                              My longings and desires, pains and agony, 
              Spend sleepless nights until my dreamy eyelids droop in slumber ~
                                                If only you knew!
