In the entrance of night
the soft glow of the moon
touches the face of beauty
revealing her to my eyes

Fear and courage wage war
in equal amounts
as words try to form
hoping to be given a voice

The rhythm of the heart
quickens in anticipation
with each passing moment
reaching towards a crescendo

Her eyes slowly move
staggering in their kindness
powerful in their intensity
losing me in their depths

The scent of her body
pervades across the distance
as time begins to halt
my passion begins to blaze

The caress of her lips
becomes my only vision
the soft touch of her skin
personifies the spirit of joy

With a kiss of her lips
my journey to heaven
finds the wings of flight
soaring forever higher

Emotions overflow as
holding her in my arms
words cease to exist
in the passion of love
