My Levi's Lullaby
My Levi’s Lullaby
By Melissa Ann Hardin
End of April 2012
If I could take your hand to hold forever I would, to light your days with the purest of passions,
And your nights with fires withheld.
The daydreams I’d reenact for your pleasure.
Of the sunlit lake with limbs entwined, the moonlit fog that entangled us in its mist, or how the candlelight played against our skin in some glade far from prying eyes.
I’ll show you the longing I’ve held to find you, to know you in every way we’ve ever dreamed.
Surrender so sweet we revel in the drowning.
Your hands upon me whispering sweet intentions, of a life we should have known free of recriminations.
If I could resurrect the walls, I once held so forcefully against you, I wouldn’t.
I’m too far beyond the point of no return, letting shadows of us enfold my imagination.
Too far down a path I’ve never known, unafraid if I know you await me at its end.
I go steady and strong to something, far beyond my ken.
How far can this life take us, the answer within our desires lie,
So softly I lay down my heart for my lover’s lullaby.
