Sweetness

Sweetness, lay here with me a while
Visions of solitude on a deserted isle
Reposed on a beach our hearts in a spin
Beads of sweat protrude on our skin
Pure water to quench our thirst
Hearts pound dare to burst

Sweetness, touch me forever in time
Shout to the world that you are mine
Spirits carried gently by the salt air
To places imagined that we may share
Emotions billow with increased intensity
Love abounds with such immensity

Sweetness, look into my heart deeply
Promise me you’ll love me completely
Reassurance to sooth the vulnerable soul
Lift up my innocence to console
Feelings submerged way too long
Begin to sing love’s sweet song

Sweetness, odiferous smells linger in the air
To remind me that you’re always there
Your absence sends me into convulsions
My heart fibrillates towards infarction
Doubts erased by your sweet scent
A honeyed fragrance, heaven sent

Sweetness, hear sounds of love renewed
Stay with me until the dew
Moistens our eyes with pure devotion
To see love’s perfect emotion
Fears allayed by your melodious voice
Heaven sent for lovers to rejoice

Sweetness, tell me this is not a dream
For if you must, I may scream
A world without you I cannot fathom
Death awaits with savage venom
Until the time we can be together
Your image resonates with me forever
