Is there a way to reach beyond space and time

and touch those places we cannot feel...

to face the void imposed by questions yet unanswered

with enduring patience waxing thin and frail?

Is this a time for us...

lovers fraught with lust, needy of joyous union,

aching for the grace of bodies one

enduring the relentless sentence life now imposes?

When will the slap of reality soften

allowing our dreams daring to take flight

dashing those who dare to unconsciously interfere

as sincerity of spirit rises above blind selfishness?

Can this love endure perpetual test

while so deserving the serenity just beyond fingertips

supported still in undeniable strength,

while longing for the blessing of a merged simplicity?

Where do the answers lie...

will we allow those vicious threats 

to invade that space where only we exist

and undermine the integrity of a love so rare?

We will face our fate head on

together casting the lure of tenacity 

looking beyond the trivial impasse

into what is consistently real and solid.

We will have faith in the destiny of desire,

side by side more powerful than apart

believing profoundly in one another

recognizing the composure and longing

found in lovers' eyes.

So come to bed with me now my one true love,

Come fill me with the desire that only you can give

And we will find strength in each other for tomorrow

and for as long as we both shall live.

Come rest upon my breast and sleep.

Dare to dream all the dreams we will share

and those unanswered questions will be answered,

the void will no longer be there.
