Never Lovers, Just In Love,

Never lovers, just in love, so deeply in love

I lay sleeping silently on my bed of loneliness
I felt her hands upon my face cupping gently
I felt her kiss warm and wet upon my lips
I opened my eyes to the blueness of her soul
The smile that I yearned to wake to oh so close
Her presence, touch, eyes and kiss shook me

I wondered where she had been so long
I wondered why she had returned to me
Perhaps she had something to tell me
Oh how I longed for her to be near me
I ache at the emptiness my life now is
She is still a dream I loathe to wake from

I have missed her visits in the still night
As I dream of her soft arms around my waist
Quietly gazing into her deep Pacific blue eyes
Her smile a sunrise crescendo of brightness
The sweetness of her warm soft breath on my neck
Where had she gone does not currently matter

She has returned to me at least in the night
If only for a moment, an hour, an eon or forever
Lying beside me warmly, I gaze at her in soft light
Sharing all of her quiet smiley secrets with me
Safe in my arms and in my heart she remains
Although she is in a far. far away place

She is why I write, the pretty muse, the one
She reaches inside me, breaks down the walls
Yet we have embraced only a few times
Kissed even fewer, except in my dreams
I have missed her so, delighted at her return
Never lovers, just in love, so deeply in love
