Inconstant Lover

I need you
For without you I cease to live
Your breath fills me with the sweetness of life
Your shadow lies upon the ground
And cloaks me with its warmth
The touch of your soul washes over me
Leaving me with a yearning as I have never felt
Your heart blocks the sun
And yet your face is all I need
In you I have found peace of mind
Your luminary existence 
Covers my soul like the light of the cold moon
And changes with each passing phase
Though inconstant
Your love is all I know
