My Lips Fall upon Your Thoughts

If my lips appear to fall upon your thoughts,
that is where
they are supposed to be.
At night,
when your ears hear pages
of the faintest verse
whispering on your neck,
it is my way of telling you everything
will be alright,
go back to sleep,
it is just me.

If you feel the softest kiss in the morning
as if the sun
has filled the passageways
of your heart
with everything you miss.
The radiance you feel in these spaces
is not a dream
in which you have fallen,
nor random chance,
it is my way
of sending you bliss.

If your temperature rises in a delightful instant,
eternally warming your soul
with a drink
and leaving your heart glowing.
It is because it holds the promises
my heart placed long ago
in a chalice called my love
where you can drink
of a warmth overflowing.

I am always with you
even on those nights
that seem to never end.
I walk delicately across your mind
tying the strings of your heart
to my own.
You can hear my voice
when my lips fall upon your thoughts
whispering,
“I love you, My Heart,
I’m coming home.”

[Poetic Beauty]

This is a delicate deeply emotional piece. It reminds me of someone who has lost the love of their live. The love still lingers even though this person is no longer walking the plains of this earth but has moved on to greater horizons but still whispers in the ether to the one they love and always will.
