Whispers of a Longing Heart

 for now I am away

but soon it will only be a day

to be in your arms forever

oh my beautiful girl, I pray

come what may

be it night or day

I want to be yours

even when we are gray

before I knew your love

I was cold, my heart amove

your warmth the peace I had always need, oh my pretty dove

for years though we were 'part

without you, a day wouldn't start

oh how I miss my pretty girl my beautiful darling, 

oh she's a work of art

and oh I will make it known

be it through song, dance or poem

and oh I will make it known

be it with my tongue, my glance or through my every bone

there I see ahead

our future in my head

a bodacious happily ever after, in every song every poem it is read

here though I lay in bed

awaiting the months ahead

when I finally get to see you

till then in lieu my love, my poem instead
