Awaking a Thirst

awaking a thirst, filling me from above
     with whispers of unforgotten love;

the pounding of drums as your name lingers
     on mine own lips displacing rainbow sweet hues.
          most wonders touch swirl round mine own fingers
               yearning the music, I choose not to lose.

how many times did I gaze on thy face?
     in mine own daydreams? When spent sun was fiercer;
          awaking a thirst, filling me from above
               with whispers of unforgotten love.

before then night lapse in dank vesture of lace
     mine wane smile died, with memories dear sir.
          brush flitter, round musical full score.
               ivory fingers purposeless upon

awaking a thirst, filling me from above
     with whispers of unforgotten love.
          my ebony frame, asking for much more,
               sweet release, mine demise, a distant yawn.

now I still steal, moments taking pleasure,
     devouring the air that waltz around me,
          awaking a thirst, filling me from above
               with whispers of unforgotten love.

wisp of earth fragrant charm I treasure,
     staring at the heaven it uses to be
          awaking a thirst, filling me from above
               with whispers of unforgotten love.
