Love Poem: Rapture

Rapture

Languid eyelids hovering shut,
Vivacious lovers intertwined,
All is well inside this dream; but,
My flushed limbs are listless; you had me unwind,
And now I am awake; aware,
Withal you are not here,
My body, mind, soul; these are all bare,
Without your presence I can not see; nothing is clear.

Caterwaul, scream, rip at my hair,
These are all actions I wish to perform,
But I lay still and envision your face; I do not fall I do not tear.
My emotions are wild; the perfect storm;
Come and save me from myself,
In this hidden world I feel truly alone,
My heart is yours to take; upon the shelf,
Without your presence I am striped to the bone. 

If patience is required for us to meet,
Then I will wait until the sands blow away,
The thought of melting in your arms is the greatest treat,
And I shall hope you will catch me when I begin to sway,
Kiss my head upon the brow,
Take my hand in yours,
To you this is my sacred vow,
Forevermore I will be yours.

Once we are together; that first gentle time,
We will not be forced apart; to you my love,
With you I will take that climb.
Never apart, always loving, this is what my dreams are made of.
Believe I will always be that hand upon your shoulder,
To comfort and caress,
Our love will forever smolder,
Forevermore I will say yes.
