A Whisper
Let me tell you something, a whisper,
A higher truth never spoken,
Murmured through the lips of Gods,
Message sent from the other side of the horizon,
You.
A light that is mine, not just meanwhile,
But forever in my eyes,
Incessantly falling from dusk til dawn,
I am for you,
Be with me, just for a minute,
A thousand smiles and I see yours,
A beautiful thing.
It's a particular and peculiar thing is love,
Mine for you, a purpose for life,
In a world full of silence and nonsense,
I dance for you, sing with me,
Look at me, see my lighthouse,
Swim to me, tap those little feet and run to me.
With warm embrace I wait for you,
Sleep is merely a painful distraction,
Greet me with happy tears in the morning,
Yield in my arms and lay with me,
Tell me something, a whisper,
A higher truth,
Tell me of a boundless love,
Fall in love with my eyes, and be with me, forever,
Please say it's me.
