* First Kiss *

In the stillness of my garden
We kissed for the first time
A fleeting taste of love painted across my lips

I took in your fragrant breath and
Our passions became lost in the moonlight

Can you sense my presence as you sleep tonight?
For my shadow is gently blowing through your hair

What elixir have you bewitched me with?
For I'm intoxicated with desire for you
You're the thief that has stolen away my spirit

A dream so small yet so obsessive

My Secret Love, you hold me close in the darkest of nights
Your soft hand resting across my back
And your fingers soothing the restlessness that lives deep in my heart

You're dancing across my breath and into my soul
And whispering to the secret places I hold dear

In the watery pools of my spirit I see your reflection
And your soft tears wash away my deepest despairs

The moments I spend with you
Are the ones I will cherish in my heart forever
My Secret Love
