At night
my Heart sleeps,
your kiss revives
the air so thick,
your lips so sweet,
to temper bitterness
that less abound
incomplete,
as shadows surround
the sullen moon
beneath our feet,
I breathe you in,
deeply I breathe
you into me,
each breath drawn
as if my first,
stars overwhelmed,
as if to burst,
their fires felt
passions burn
to sear my heart
in whispered flames,
I hear your voice,
And call your name,
I feel your touch,
I have no choice,
my soul is such,
by love designed
to breathe you in,
like heartbeats timed
a rhythmic call
to draw again,
for you are
my oxygen.

At night
my Heart sleeps,
your kiss revives
the air so thick,
your lips so sweet,
to temper bitterness
that less abound
incomplete,
as shadows surround
the sullen moon
beneath our feet,
I breathe you in,
deeply I breathe
you into me,
each breath drawn
as if my first,
stars overwhelmed,
as if to burst,
their fires felt
passions burn
to sear my heart
in whispered flames,
I hear your voice,
And call your name,
I feel your touch,
I have no choice,
my soul is such,
by love designed
to breathe you in,
like heartbeats timed
a rhythmic call
to draw again,
for you are
my oxygen.
