Every Night
Every night I search for your face
through the mist on my window
I search for your arms
in the perfume of flowers
I gaze at oceans of stars
and make the same sempiternal wish
Every night I bathe in crystals of honey
'neath an effervescent moon
which carries your evanescent smile
upon each ripple of waves
Every night the horizon meets my eyes
and all I think of is you
Your world becomes my world
as my world becomes your own
Every night I wear my glass slippers
to dance on sand prints of the past
in the silent promise of tomorrow
Every night I await a new sunrise
to solace this pang which your absence inflicts
To hear you whisper 'I love you'
to feel your breath upon mine
without being kissed.
