I long to see your face

Oh my love

How I long to see your face

And surrender to the darkness

Held tenderly in your embrace

 

I think of how my spirit will take wings

And fly away from the concern of earthly things

When finally your arms wrap around my waist so tight

And together our souls in slumber

Fall through those nights

After long long months of waiting

On shores so torn apart

 

Over all those aching times

We felt the longing beating in our hearts

Calling and calling across the thousand miles

Of empty wilderness between us

 

 I cannot wait to see your smile

Or to amble down a golden mile

Of autumn leaves

Scattered ankle deep on paths of green

 

Or seek to soothe my soul in sleep

Recognising how it longs to be abandoned

To silent reverie of unconsciousness deep

With you by my side

 

Until I awaken

At dawn’s early light

To see the glow of sunlight

Cresting the horizon

As all these forlorn thoughts of a shattered past

Finally recede

Allowing my soul to float free

Untethering my consciousness

From painful memories
