His voice falls sweet upon my ear
As he bends his breath around my name-
Unaware he's set my soul to trembling.
His eyes a blend of slate and ice
Twinkling as he looks my way-
His gaze meets mine, setting my heart afire
And I fear in my eyes he may see
All that I feel, for none but he.
He laughs, and all is right in my world-
He hurts, and I hurt with him.
Every beat of my heart cries his name-
The slightest brush of his skin against mine
Leaves my knees weak, and I long for more.
I ache for just one sweet, lingering kiss-
To feel the strength of his arms around me
His heart, pressed so near to mine.
Love is fine, although fickle-
I want, need, love this single, beautiful man
Yet to keep him near, I dare not reveal
The truth behind the my words.
I lie awake with thoughts of love
Asleep, I dream once more of he
Who holds my heart in aching thrall
Though he remains unaware of all
The power, the hold he has o'er me.
O fool heart, how can a lowly woman such as I
In loving a beautiful soul, a man such as he
Ever hope for more than this-
To win his heart
And gain his love...
