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.
