Sunlight of My Soul

I awaken to the dimness of a night that doesn't want to end.

I look across at you lying next to me and what I see are the promises of things to come, things yet unimagined.

Even in the coffin-like darkness, your beauty surrounds you like an aura.

I lay here basking in the aura of that beauty, anxious for the inner light of your being to chase the cobwebs of a long night away.

With bated breath I watch as the flicker of awareness begins to shine as you slowly allow your hidden eyes a brief respite from the night darkness.

In them holds the universe of stars that twinkle promises of new tomorrows and never-ending light.

I watch transfixed in amazement as awareness and purpose come to light in your countenance.

Slowly, ever so effortlessly, like the sun peeking its way over the mountain crests, your smile starts to shine upon me ever so gradually.

The radiance of your smile begins to chase all the vestiges of the previous darkness away, adding color to everything that witnesses its glory.

In that gradual open smile, I feel the warmth of your inner being flood my soul and heart with the heat of passion that is so very much a part of you.

The heat of my passion ignites as the concert of your glowing smile and the radiance of your gaze burst upon my heart with greater force than anything atomic.

I begin to melt in the presence of your awesome beauty. Beauty that transcends the pure physical. Beauty that gives light to the invisible and yet very tangible soul .

I am no longer just me, but am becoming one with the warmth and radiance that flows from your inner being.

You are just being you, and I am no longer being me, but rather someone that your life, your destiny is creating me to be. Something so much greater than I could have imagined myself to be.

I am no longer a captive of myself, but still a prisoner none the less as your essence reshapes me and moulds me into something better than I have ever been.

The passion that wells up within me is more than mortal brain can contain or comprehend and I realize that I am yours, to will and to do.

What wonders come unbidding from a simple gaze and radiant smile. What promises they hold of untold treasures and secrets.

I feel myself falling into you, not in a sexual way but in an emotional and spiritual way.

You wield power, yet deny it in yourself. You wield love as a gift and a tool of creating and shaping.

I feel my body become inconsequential yet I feel the fire you have ignited in my loins.

You reach out to me with a hand, while I am still imprisoned in your gaze, paralyzed with the power of your unequaled love.

You touch your finger to my lips and the sparks of a thousand lightening flashes burn from my lips to the center of my being.

I become aware of the taste of you, the sweetness of you. From that simple touch, my senses have become magnified and amplified.

My body is no longer mine, for it has willingly surrendered its will to you and I am made aware that the coming light of day is preparing me for the wonders of a new and yet unexplored new beginning!

This is dedicated to a wonderful and beautiful N.Y. girl. She knows who she is!
