Seu Rosto

I lie here

Unaware of the world,

That spins around my being

Conspiring in smiles....

While I soak in

Your dream-lit visage,

The picture of you,

That I drew when you were away,

Has faded and lost its place.....

Its a new soul I see

Gentler, a surreal fragility......

Like the first sheet of ice,

On a winter lake.....

A smooth contour

With a sensitive base.....

Inciting silent sensations,

With a tumultuous pace.....

Those alluring eyes,

That color me with emotion,

Moisten my own,

While you hold me close.....

Those lips that seek

The tenderness I hide,

Seem to entice my gaze.....

And I silently wish

The heavens to add,

A lifetime more

To this enchanted phase......

And as the first sparkle of gold

Tinges your countenance,

With the heralding day....

I gather in my heart

The nascent ecstasy,

Of a transformed life.....

While I indulge once again,

In the depths of your love.....

Basking in the radiance,

Of your beautiful face.......
