Face To Face

awoken yet still dreamy
i float towards the window
by which i wait
by which i dream
peering through the fog of reality
i think of you

how I love you 

face to face

peer through those incredible eyes
you expose only to me
completely transparent 
deep as you are;
gifted,
singularly unique

the sound of your voice
more intriguing 
wind - tiptoes the dense forest greens
the flutter of the one butterfly’s wings 
caressing the jade blue of the morning sky

my name flying from you 
like angels playing their golden harps
crave Destiny’s Child 
“Say my name, say my name”
their music bouncing around in my head
as i wallow in the true of you

i love you face to face

your fresh 
out of the shower
complexion 

my eyes are yours
surely all of nature embodies you
and i must be made of steel
you the magnet draws the beat of my heart
breaking through my ribs 
to sync with yours

face to face
enrobed in your thick locks
my fingers mapping every strand
bury myself in its scent
found in the meld of us

i love you face to face

This is as beautiful as any of the best Valentine's Day poems I have ever read... with an extra layer of depth. Lovely imagery, Maurice. Love it.

It reads to me as if you're in love Maurice, a very richly described piece of emotion flowing through the readers senses, well done; very well done may I add.'
