If Only You Could Be
I wish you were an echo
of the voice within my heart
Repeating drumming love-notes
Calling me softly from afar.
I wish you were my shadow
Playing Hide and Seek
Shaping my every curve
in the heated night of sleep.
Chasing me till sunrise
by little candle-lights
Gently leaning closer
Always by my side.
I wish you were the sky-dusk
to wrap within your stars
Those blinking crystal flowers
will show me where you are.
I wish you were my hair
Unpinned and falling loose
Shawling my bare shoulders
Warming my dusty blues.
I wish you were my perfume
to wear you against my skin
to feel your dripping dew
of a rose melting within.
I'd smell your fragrant scent
Of Spring first blooming buds
I curl beneath my sheets
Making their whiteness blush.
I wish you were my eyes
to ask you what you see
You'll read the ache of absence
written all over me.
And then maybe you' d come back
Will you return to be ?
I will be waiting for you
Your presence sets me free.
If only you could find me
Hold me tight sweet tenderly.
Place your arms around my waist
A display of affection,fervent intimacy.
