Immortal Beloved

My dearest beloved.
Light of my heart,
vessel of my affection,
immortal beloved.

Dearest divine,
the sun shines in your eyes,
the moon reflects on skin
of the softest silk.
Pure and white.
Immortal beloved of mine.

Heavenly whispers
of our love spanned across time,
never seeing, only feeling
each other’s presence
without knowing 
how I long for you
my dearest heart.

In windswept plains
I search for the radiance
I long for the caress 
of my angel of deliverance.

Speak to me my love,
call out to me.
Call my name
immortal beloved of mine!
Our lives intertwined,
but yet two worlds apart.

Mine in darkness and 
yours in light. 
Yet I yearn for you my love.
I long for the taste 
of your ruby red lips,
the smell of your hair,
the scent of your skin
forevermore in my heart entwined.

A meeting by chance,
union by destiny.
Loneliness subsides
into a lifetime forever as one
immortal beloved.
My search has begun.
Through circumstance
we meet at chance
knowing not yet
what will come to pass.

Await for me my love divine,
Wait a moment more.
As I walk through time 
to find you there
where I least thought you to be,
standing right in front of me.
You my immortal beloved,
lady of light.

Await my tender waking kiss,
Await your dark knight to come
and hear me call out your name.
till time parts us no more,
immortal beloved of mine!
