Whisper Your Heart
Shall I come to you in periwinkle dreams
cast in golden slumbers of pre-dawn
haze? If I adorn my heart for you,
a banquet on mahogany escritoire
where I write of precious memories,
would your ear hear of my love?
Shall I come to you in golden chariots
of midday -- blazing a song of passion
and praise? If my heart became a mantel
of sturdy oak, would you spread your
laurels upon it -- anchoring it there in
precious metals of pride?
Shall I come to you in azure orbits of night
where passion dreams find eager hearts
burning in fire-cast red? If my heart became
a silken sheet, slippery-soft and beckoning,
would you wrap yourself in its hope and
glory in the rapture?
I have waited for you in darkness of love
and cast spells with heart-warm wishes,
but they are not enough. I search the
highest plateaus for the keys to you.
Tell me in secret whispers, I will not betray,
and I will open heaven for us.
Whisper your heart to me, and I will place
it beside my pillow and breathe upon it
soft caresses. I will guard it with passion and fire,
fanning the flame, until I find the key --
for my love is unceasing. My spirit hopes
in eternity, and dies a little each day.
Renew me with your life-song!
Awaken to a beacon shining brightly,
in awe of you.
