I Cup Your Face

Once in a life a desire is so very deep and hungry.  Belittled by distance, war and circumstances beyond our control. I have loved your soul for a thousand years. In my dreams I have cupped your face within my hands.  Traced your eyes, your eloquent royal nose, and tasted of your lips.  As if I suckled a freshly picked plum, juicy sweet and so endearing. I melt into you my love. My pillar of unobtainable strength.  In somber moments the longing tears an invisible hole in my chest.  I wear your shirt I close my eyes I feel your breath upon my neck. Your weight baring down on me and I hold you so tight. I cup your face I drink your eyes with mine forever I am here for you.

There is this unique insurance your works always give my expectations And that satisfaction only builds more castles for my curiosity to thrive, waiting for subsequent results of your talent and thinking.

I fear unreturned emotions. Sometimes ones' hunger is larger than those you love. Thank you Daniel.
