In Eden's Beauty

if only i could paragraph your halcyon breath,
i’d encompass your essence in eden’s beauty

our lips avowed in a kiss held in an
abyss of lingering reminiscence,
never seized in laden avails- 
               solitude no more

consensually seeking the same
connection of a mirrored reflection
that sees an adoring image,
and 
never being able to unlove you

i ache for your touch-
for it outweighs any fallacy i may
encounter  in my life
you long for my eyes-
for you see a whole new world of 
love and passion through them

i consider all the ways i can prove
my dedication of vows sworn;
phrases of metaphors and syllables
to announce just how blessed i am to
have your lips brush up against mine
~for all time~

etch me at eventide so that my
silhouette may embrace elegance
under the soft moonlight splendor...
           grace me with sweet surrender

temperature high caressing your 
velveteen skin;
you take me to paradise with one
breath on my nape
no mount can keep us apart as i bathe 
in the glory of love’s cascading affection

my aspiration is this…
    to encompass OUR 
                           essence 
                               in 
                           eden’s 
                                   beauty
