From My Heart

by Sheye Blaze

From my heart to yours
I offer this to you
The Essence of Me
The Plight of my Soul
and
The Place Where I am Free

Discovering the sweetness of your lips
Tantalized by the saltiness of your neck
The smell of your soap and the feel of your skin
The look in your eyes -- can I kiss you?

And then I am lost.
Knowing that love has already come
Curled up in your arms, legs entwined
Can I say it? Can I tell you what is in my heart?

So soon to tell you that it is yours
Yet, I am compelled to do it
My heart is so full of this love
I must share it with you, voice it to you

I wait with baited breath
And a rush of relief
As you return my love
Ready to discover the secrets of us

Your beautiful eyes, bursts of flame firing within
A slow-burn in the depths of your soul
A gulf of love in which I could play forever
Burned and marked by the indigo flames of your soul

Heart and soul burning so bright
I could light up a city when Iím with you
Our love fuels the flames high into the night
This intensely do I love thee
