His Face

Cupped into my heart
His face
Those eyes that embrace my light
Surfacing, Surfacing
Fish that need to know beyond
And jump out of their little gulps of water
My hands
Tracing, Tracing
Over his lips
Kisses that wait at the brink
Of passionate words
Forming over invisible water falls
A lifetime spilling over

Give me this face
In my dreams, which doesn't turn me
But captures my silhouette
Caught in a lightning storm
Grounded in such beautiful white light
Electric and alive

Encompass me, with the thoughts
Of this man
Who calls me beautiful
When I have walked in shadows
All of my life
Give me a blanket and pillow
To sleep
In the crease of his smile
