The essence of you

I awoke today, but the dream was sweet,

So I went back to bed to return to sleep.

Knowing in my dream I'd find you there,

My heart in an involuntary atmosphere.

 

I clutch on to you, as I clutch on to life,

Trying to believe it's not too late,

Our destiny now wrote in the book of fate,

Your pre-eminence of love and life, I now take.

 

As you take my heart to a new dimension,

Aiming your bow for fastidious penetration,

The arrow soars through the air,

My heart its intention,

 

Opening the door as I feel your spirit near,

You cross the threshold knowing my fears,

Reaching out to lay a bridge to life's toll,

Your words tenderly now carry my soul.
