Beautiful One

I lay against your chest, Drink the cup from your hand
It is sweet delicious, My mind is at rest
The words of your mouth are kind and delightful
The smell of your soul fragrant and warm
Like wine with time grows more complex
So too does my love for you beautiful one.

The world grows cold and dim, Night is before the dawn
Outside is uncertainty and sordid thoughts
The hours pass unnoticed, conversation has ceased
the twilight has become a moonless night
Quietness is deafening but your presence sustains me

Sunrise brings the hope of daylight and warmth
Your arms embrace me as the earth receives the morning
Your lips are drenched with honey and spice
Clouds decorate the sky and the dew kisses the ground
Shapes become defined and clearly seen
Soon I will rise up and depart, I will miss you
