Meant To Be

~

Softly I surrender
to the whisper of your lips,
the longing sighs
asking if our love is 
meant to be

Melting before
the alluring beauty 
embracing my eyes
while delicate fingers
trace my desires…
I answer breathless,

Yes, my darling,
I truly believe 
our love is 
meant to be

Taking your silken hand 
gently in mine,
the warmth comforts
as does the smile
blooming on your face...
you rest your head
upon my shoulder
and I know you know 
I mean it

I too smile as
lingering affection
gathers within my heart
amidst a waking dawn
of sunrise devotion
as night turns to day

and I cherish this moment
lost within your arms,
falling helplessly beyond 
pastel horizons of a 
shimmering forever

meant only 
for us
