Ode To Faith

Way down in the depths of my heart,
Is a name whose fame is seizing my soul.
Golden pools of piercing eyes,
Entwined with time and divide my thoughts 
Into flames
Till I am reeling times.
Your touch divined my skin ablaze,
Till every ember burns out,
I would die a thousand deaths.
Just say you are mine, and
I would slip behind time, and
Halt a minute's progression.
This feeling of undying love
Has inspired an obsession in me.
I could spend hours spelling your name
On these lips which only queues questions;
Do you love me too?
Do you wake up in the moonlight to the thought of me?
My shy lips could not pronounce my love,
I once tried but my voice came out so faint,
I believe
Your desires are hungrier than mine.
From your ever ready ears, I can tell
Your arms are wide open to bosom
Forever waiting for me.
