Morning found me with you ...

I woke this morning
and should have known
what the day would bring
I touched the window
and as winter's cold sought to chill me
a thought of you brought warmth
and with that warmth a wanting
which drew you into me
as the sun found its way to me
lying in my bed again
falling into depths I did not fear
embraced by arms I could not see
there was communion there.

Sound became distant
as I surrendered to your presence
pervasive and powerful
And I think my lips moved
to speak to you
my thoughts lost...
passion taking hold
and daylight was no more

Lost in this realm
held in your arms
calmed by a perfect peace
a gentle lover
a possession of my soul
I would not refuse
an entering into my spirit
I could not stop
a love which burned a gin-like flame
white in its pureness
and stealing my every breath
the only words I found
Lover keep me with you
Let me inside you
allow me to remain.
Lead me to your depths
to lie with you and warm you
and love you without end.
