Star-crossed

In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes,
Or that I do, my heart pleading for your company.
That you, a being of this earthly dwelling
Could set my soul, ablaze, heavenward
In hopes of attaining the favor of your beautiful soul.

I dive into the great sanctuary that is your arms,
Beautiful, if only for a moment, is the rest I find.
There to breathe your essence and remain for a thousand lifetimes,
Yours, but myself, dreaming.

Oh that I could sleep forever and remain,
Unburdened, in this sweet embrace.
That the stars in their motion would stop,
And save forever the exquisite wonder of this moment,
Where the world is but you and I,
Not fearing, but lost in worlds beyond purpose and comprehension.
Alone, together in a place where words have no meaning.
