Essence of Love

Weep not for the passion
but for the love my heart consumes

Taste not my lips
but the desire upon my breath

Feel not the touch of my hands
but the beating of my heart against yours

See not my eyes
but deep within my soul
where the essence of my being
awaits your embrace

Ache not for my leaving
but for the loneliness felt
from being apart

Rejoice not for my return
but for the love I bring anew…
