Eternal Flame

I watch as the morning sun
Surrounds your body with a haIo of golden light
My heart fills with so much love,
It feels as though it must take flight

Even as my soul battles with the specter of heart break
Never knowing if I will have another precious moment
To hold you, to love you
To belong to only you

Knowing I only exist in time you must steal
Yet, it’s these moments that keep me prisoner
Waiting for your presence to finally release me
To be free once again
To feel that exquisite immolation
Of my entire being
That only your touch can bring

So I pray to whatever Gods may be
Oh so feverently
That I be granted leave
To surrender my soul
To you this way
Forever
