speak to me so gently
and kiss my tender brow
reveal to me such heart's truth
in visions so grand
and I will reap so prettily for thouest now
such words
such will
such utter delight
make ash of my accomplished skill
and release my soul to flight
I soar with the angels
unbound in this night
as your words carry me well
so where be your sword
your pen's ink full deluge
that sends me up to the mountains
and buses my cheeks in a wash of rouge
take my soft woman's hands
so warm elegant and fine
as you attempt to walk with me along
along the places I've yet visited
heights I've yet to fully explore
why, even if they are all only trapped
within my romantic's mind
as I need your gentle, lonely rogue's
heart now
to share all this with me and more
whisper that you understand to me
in my eyes
without any lighthearted teasing
of what we have in store...............
