I see only you
My alabaster angel
You who lights fire to my soul
And sets my heart to thundering
When my tired eyes
Close in the whisper of dawning sleep
It is your burnished voice I hear
Lulling me in its tumbling sounds
Is your ardent touch I inhale
Into my own breathing flesh
Drawing you into myself
Intensity of your eyes
Shifting in color and depth
Watching me while I sleep
Dreaming of you
Lying next to me
The moon ticks across the sky
Counting our moments and breaths
I let my hand touch so lightly
A curl of your moonlit hair
Kiss me again
And know no more
And know everything
And need no other
And need of them all
Your precious life
You have given for mine
And mine
I have given for yours
My alabaster angel
You who lights fire to my soul
And sets my heart to thundering
When my tired eyes
Close in the whisper of dawning sleep
It is your burnished voice I hear
Lulling me in its tumbling sounds
Is your ardent touch I inhale
Into my own breathing flesh
Drawing you into myself
Intensity of your eyes
Shifting in color and depth
Watching me while I sleep
Dreaming of you
Lying next to me
The moon ticks across the sky
Counting our moments and breaths
I let my hand touch so lightly
A curl of your moonlit hair
Kiss me again
And know no more
And know everything
And need no other
And need of them all
Your precious life
You have given for mine
And mine
I have given for yours
