Awaken in my Arms I watch you slumber And taste the flickering lamplight licking at your skin Capturing every exquisite detail of your face Gray cloud dancers grieve in lyrical hush across your sleeping body And I adore the agony of the mournful quiet rainfall Crying on the window glass above your head Your shadow is a rare desert flower dancing on a warm gentle breeze And your soul a shimmering waterfall where angels go to weep Dark deep swirling passionate hopeless grieving My lips touch the essence of your spirit You are an unceasing storm deep in my fragile heart And your love softly adorns my crumpled tears Awaken in my arms, my beloved! And embrace the desire that consumes my soul |
