You’re sleeping soundly, but I’m left on fire Engulfed by flames of burning hot desire I yearn for you, and in my heart’s an ache For I must wait till sun kissed, you awake I think of you, so full of every grace You’re angel bearings show upon your face The strength of virile man is in your stance It makes the heart in me just want to dance To know that you are mine is sweetest treat It makes me want each day anew to greet The joy of losing self there in your eyes Gives me the wings I need to take to skies You give me strength; you give me love that’s true My world is epic all because of you For Gautami Phookan’s Contest- I think of You February 17, 2015
