Bed of Leaves
The soft breeze sways the trees
As you twirl me in a bed of leaves
to the rhythm of our beating hearts
You pull me close and our souls' music starts
Your breath whispers in my ear
and your words cleanse me of any fear
Our hands are wrapped
and my strength is sapped
But you hold me steady with passionate eyes
our lives are woven together with firm ties
A love so deep, it's overwhelming
All that I am is yours, and I'm delving
into the wonderous secrets your soul holds
to be one with you in the greatest adventure ever told
To share my life with the love of my life
You will be my husband and I will be your wife
You laugh and I'm filled with desire
unquenchable intimacy lit up like a fire
Your warm hands caress my cheek
a flood of fervor fills the air and I seek
to be lost in your infinite embrace
to persue you in ecstasy, to chase
my lover and understand him completely
I touch your neck and we stand blissful in each other's company
Your lips meet mine and we kiss
the air stills and nothing in the world is amiss
You are most perfectly flawed
and I am utterly awed
That I am yours and you are mine
for all of eternity, yet for just a time
a tear slips and I hold you tighter
You stroke my hair, my tender heart is snagged on barbed wire
You gently say "farewell, my love." And you turn to leave
I'm left alone in our little, bright bed of leaves
Though it kills me, I know
that in loving you fully I must let you go
So return safely to me my love
'till then, I'll search for your plane in the fiery sky above
For better or for worse you will always have my heart
Though oceans and bullets may keep us apart
