To Breathe "you" In....
Your beautiful name, echoing throughout my thoughts
"Everyday!"....But I never tell you this?
Sometimes when I breathe, I close my eyes to imagine
Breathing, everything that you are, to me, deep within....
And it is then, when I can feel your heart, beating, next to mine
As I hold you in my arms, my soul melting, to these rushing waters, inside
These dreams of countless moments, that I dream, with you by my side
Sometimes it hurts, so profoundly, this pain, when you are not there
These endless reflections, which tear at my being, my existence
Mixed amid smiles of longings, of what I hope, may someday be!?
Every beat, every breath, every second of my life
Filled with you, and you alone, forever in my sight!
I do not need to paint these things, upon a canvas of colors
For what good are they, to me anymore?
When all I want, they can no longer hold; because, they hold not "You"
My eyes are saddened sometimes, as they desire your beauty, but find you, never there
My soul~How can I explain this, yearning that I have!?
How? As I question, what happened upon this path?
For it seems so long, since I have felt this way....
These searing flames, more and more, everyday!
And all I know, is that right now, as I breathe you in
A thousand years, would not be enough, time, to share with your life
Anything, less than eternity, I believe, would tear me in half
This, is how much, I truly love "You!"
And not even the most amazing words, within this world, that were ever written
Could make it any truer~As I gaze, into your endless eyes ~
I would give you the stars, this I know, as I have given you my life
To walk along the shore with "You"~To walk, through the tides of time....
Is all that I shall ever want, and all, that I shall ever need!
Watch me bleed, without your splendor, here ~
Can you feel my passion? Can you feel my love?
Calling to "You," within every moment, that I wake
Dreams, inside my heart~My raging soul, which burns, for "You"
A torch, until the ends of time~Can you hear it, calling too!?

To breathe, your beauty, within....
