It starts.
I feel the quiver,
The heat of it.

My curiosity grows.
I quest for knowledge,
teasing answers form lips and fingertips.

My imagination ignites.
My mind wanders,
it shows me what would happen were all my wants delivered.

I begin to dream.
Flashes of color,
Limbs entwined and hearts combined.

I wake.
Sobering thoughts,
I then see reality and long  for dreams again.

Want.
That is what I feel when I think of you.

I want to feel your hands..
I want them entangled in my hair.
My tresses coiled around your digits as you massage.
Your fists clenched in my mane as you pull.

I want them on my skin.
Touching, teasing, caressing...
Leading my senses onward unto oblivion.
Your touch,
Exploring.
Roaming.
Wandering.

And I want more.

I am a creature of the night.

The stars and moon call to me.
Silently babbling promises.
The moon dances across the sky,
All the while Orion poses.
I hear an owl, calling for a mate.
Hearing no others, i call to it.
Calling from on wing, he comes closer.
I speak his language, he becomes curious.
The night whispers, tells me what to say.
"I'm here."
"You're not alone."
"Come visit with me."
The owl answers back.
"Who?"
I speak his tongue,
I make my case.
"I will be your friend this night."
"I can keep you company."
"Come closer."
The owl is closer,
yet still unseen.
"Who?"
I look for hos shadow,
I search the trees.
"Come, sing to me with limited words."
"We can talk of life, and death if you wish."
"Fill my ears with your story."
He answers,
I track his calls to a nearby branch.
"Who?"
I look up to him,
There, I see him.
I smile.
Incline my head to him in greeting.
"I understand your loneliness."
"I hear it in your call."
"She will be waiting for you."
He, in turn, inclines his head.
"Who?"
I smile and shake my head.
"Listen for her."
"She is there."
In the distance another owl calls.
"Who?"

Love and heartache,
Ebb and flow.

Time will keep passing,
Wherever I may go.

I've loved fiercely,
I've lost much.

I still keep reaching,
Yearning for that touch.

I still keep trying,
I will wander on.

My heart is not empty,
My love is not gone.

I am filled with the past,
I will reach for tomorrow.

That seed of hope,
will be fed and grow.

The clock laughs at me.
My cycle breaks the norm.
The moon calls me out to play,
The sun sings me sweet lullabies.
When the world is abuzz, and you slumber everything slows.
You wake and it's calm,
The quiet of the night wraps you in it's cooling embrace.
The moon's rays bathe my skin in it's milky light.
She paints a blue wash over the world and colors my vision in softness.
We converse for a time, but all too soon she bids me good day and heads to sleep.
The sky lightens in the east and brings the rest of the world awake.
The light of morning has come and sets the horizon aflame.
With it's vivid assault on the sky the birds begin to sing the song of morning.
The sun peeks over the horizon and begins his sweet melody.
My eyes begin to turn leaden, and my energy to wane.
Take me to bed, O daytime friend.
Put me to bed with your warmth.
Soothe my ache, this need for sleep, and lull me down to bed.
The world begins to move about and i become still.
the sun brushes my hair from my cheek and caresses my skin.
It whispers to me to sleep now,
It tells me the promise of later.
He serenades me.
He tells me that my tomorrow starts tonight.
Come, come sleep with me, weary one.
I will keep you warm.
Sleep with me, I will chase away the bad.
Raise your dreams up to my light,
I will filter out the bad.
Lower your lashes,
Relax.

Like the late spring sunshine,
I am warmed by you.
To feel your kiss  upon my skin,
your touch upon my limbs.
I am the tree, and you are the sun.
Without you, I would surely wither and die.
You give me sustenance, I grow healthy in your presence.
Your rays caress me and I spread myself before you.
I blossom and grow. I show you my beauty and bear fruit.
You, You do this to me.
You make me alive with sensation and I bear myself to you.
It is because of you that I can continue to be in this world.
You are my sun.
I am the tree.
You are Light.
You are life.
You are Love.

If there was a title,
That was made just for you.
If there was a a way,
To show you I'm true.
I could move mountains.
I would bend time.
To show you I love you,
To make sure you were mine.
I'd do what it took,
I'd say what you want.
If only I could tell you,
If only I'd try.
My trepidation stills me,
My hesitation builds.
I hold my tongue,
I tell you not.
I wait and pine,
I bide my time.
The day will arise,
It will come true.
If maybe i said it,
That I love you.
