Only For You

I just want to unveil
all my unspoken litany of love 
embossed in my silver scroll
when I think of you 
each silken silence.

the sigh I cast~ 
upon your silhouette
on burnt sienna sunsets.

the whisper I make~
retelling our sacred story.
on each wandering cloud.

the unwritten love letters~
stored in purple petals
of  spring blooms.

the dreams I decorate
for you and me~
carved upon 
the rustic rocks
of make-believe
hoping that someday~
there will be, " Time For Us".  

the beats of my heart
that spawn sublime symphony
inspiring me~
to paint a masterpiece 
of your idyllic innocence,
and write  my last poem
only for YOU.

This metaphoric write is very beautiful JCB. "The unwritten love letters stored in purple petals of spring blooms." - especially nice.
