If You Were Mine

If you were mine… 


If you were mine…our footsteps would

dance on moonlit verandas while 
candle light flickers enchant my heartbeat
when your arms wrap tightly around me

become symphonies played to the rhythm of your smile
as we sway in the essence of forever
on cloud soft concertos of affection’s melodic whispers

create eternal echoes singing in harmony with your eyes,
hauntingly dark invitations to my endless destination,
soothing reflections comforting weathered longings

If you were mine…satin beaches would

eclipse tan line passions
beneath glistening waves of aquamarine salt water bliss
gently caressing the depth of our love

entice palm leaf shadows of cooling design weaving embracing patterns
of ocean fed breezes tickling our naked forms
as sea foam fingers probe pearl smooth valleys

glow in sunset tides teasing below star orchid heavens
blooming of every wished for fantasy…
lasting happily ever after upon sandcastles dreams

If you were mine…my life would be

a mosaic of delirious euphoric visions
in constant creative motion delivering sincerely
every ounce of joy your heart could desire

painted in the sweet aroma of everything that is your spirit
vibrant in wonders of fragrant poetic offerings
versed in accordance with your every need

worth living, believing that happiness can begin with a smile
shared along endless streams of cherish blessings,
completely satisfied and forevermore yours

If you were mine…oh, if you were mine

Good night Soupers
