"Dearest Sweetheart"

by Amber "V" Moonstone 2/05/08

Dearest Sweetheart,
I sit here trying to find the words
That can express how deeply
"I love you!"

Merely saying that,
cannot compare to the depths
of devotion where I linger;
while you are away.

My heart aches from wanting you,
My body hurts from missing your touch,
My mind dwells in darkness
needing your light to awaken my thoughts.

Only you, have the power
to make me whole again,
to make me feel like a woman,
to make me glad to be alive.

Do not stay away any longer,
Find your way to my door.
Loving and unconditional
shall you find my willing heart.

Many nights I lay awake,
dreaming of the moment
of your lips touching mine,
our tongues erasing loneliness,

Your desires ignite my thoughts
bringing our reunion
to the cataclysmic peak of
eternal fires of our burning embers!

Only Dante can understand
the depth of our love and devotion,
the needs and desires beyond
earthly imaginings.

Bring your fears so that I
can wash them away
with just one kiss or touch.
You will be, Eternally Satisfied!
