Hidden Beauty

When lovers embrace beneath rounded sky
The search of contentment a realm to fill
Stillness of time reveals the reason why
To press their lips with tenderness, until
To moors of souls they tie their tethered heart
Secure now, an anchor to storms held firm
And welcome waves merging from space apart
With eyes melding as lovers, to confirm
This moment quiet, when lips bestow need
and press to conquer the hunger within
Unveils a loneliness where wants concede
This world ever still, from the softest skin

To be a fragile sparrow in this storm
To kiss, seeking refuge tender and warm
