They Stood

They stood facing each other

Fingers tenderly laced together

Inhaling the essence of another

Merging as a blossoming flower

Our nectar so sweet of another

It calls the bees to pollenate

One flower to the other from us

So that all may flourish as we

As two souls who once slept

Now awakened from their dream

Hearts intertwining in loves vines

Implanting one to the other growing

Your breath upon my neck waters

As my breath upon yours nourishes

Eyes sparkle with the life they have found

A life afore which had been dead

The gentle touch we exchange

In the tenderness of the kiss

Brings the magic that we share alive

Coursing through like a waterfall

If this be but a dream we share

May this dream last an eternity

For I never wish to awaken

Only to see as we both are now

For our warmth is as the sun

Our rays ever releasing

Beams upon mother earth

And all shall grow of it

So is this purity of another

All shall wish to drink of it

For we are of freshest waters

Cooling our revitalizing drops

For we are the waters

Which bring life to all

As the greenest of a leaf

Newly opened in spring’s breath

You are my safe haven as I yours

Where once there was none

We behold all our worldly secrets

Now two are hearts filled with love
