A Valentine Wedding

Your whispered breath, invites a place, for me to rest my heart Your touch could warm the coldest heart, and break the ice apart It could incite the sun to keep away, and tell the moon to rise and take me far, beyond the place where heaven's gate resides Your hands are guided by the dawn, before the morning comes Content to hold the night awhile, within your gentle palms I beg of you, suspend this time, and keep this moment ours Delay the sun, and keep the night, for I must keep the stars The dawning sun lays softly still, upon the golden hill No softer than a white moth's wing, ...in the light, upon the sill For the breath of love you share with me, is more than I can say The depth of love I hold for you, ....will keep the sun away
