A Roomful of Whispers

Before I felt your love in my heart
My soul was in torment
Seeking passion amid the devastation of my essence
Haunted by unceasing despair

I found your Love growing in the twisted wreckage of my faraway dreams
A wild flower flourishing in the cracks between ancient unforgiving stones

You came into my life and
Scattered my despair to the four winds

Our souls are now as one

Your lips brush against my breast with a nuance of songs
Like a roomful of whispers

My destiny has become yours

Your passions pass through my eyes
Like shadows retreating into darkened corners

Eternity is ours

Do you feel the soothing mind-touch of my delicate tears
As they hush your tempest soul?

Do you hear my lust weaving a spell-song of longing and desire
Enslaving your heart?

Now that I have tasted your sweet nectar
I can no longer remember the sorrows of my past
And I am forever grateful to Love for giving you to me
