None But You

i've been bathing in the 
cascade of love's abyss-
ravishing in barren
moments that ignite my
intimate desires

rinse me and dry me with
crimson cloth,
so that i may be redeemed
by your fount's reverie

the constellations knew 
your captivating touch 
would quench my thirst,
nourish my need to love 
none but-
YOU

the universe gave a path for 
you to wander sweetheart
~for you are truly spectacular~

you are my stardust at
midnight,
my perpetual reason for
breathing
i inhale your hunger for me-
you exhale the truth i decree

for there are no syllables, 
no metaphors to embrace 
without you in my world-
i sought for a love that could
fill my essence with devotion,
and you 
my love, 
satisfy my every aspiration

if you wish to be my dream, 
if you yearn for me as i do for
you, 
then come here-
DEMAND
my 
KISS
and we shall 
LOVE
until the
grains no longer fill an  
hourglass

our love is  i r r e f u t a b l e, 
your beauty is exceptional;
my restless heart full of none...but-
YOU
