And what then when the soul is so moved by her
that breathing becomes labored
and mere sight stirs all emotions?
She consumes me when I see her face.
I'm shackled to her sweet dream eyes
and so lost beyond the need to know her touch
that she becomes my hunger, my obsession.
Oh, that I would cross a thousand dusty miles
in heart and dream and in the very walk of my life
just to feel but a single ray of the sunshine
that seems to glow in her smile.
For in breathless, I have her eyes,
in whisper, I have her ears,
and in dreams, I have the promise of
a thousand restless forevers.
