Satin sheets of emotion

Just a beginning

Satin waves of emotion flow across the miles

The tempest turns in the winds of the heart

Losing what was found and finding what's lost

On this sea of hope tonight

Her words crease his soul with their weight

His epistle finding its mark like an arrow

The cancer is cured as they transplant the marrow

Saturated through the bone of hopeful tomorrow

Eschewing the lust for things of more substance

Written in dust with the upmost intention

To fall together in sublime night

Knowing the union is sure to be right

Exhaling their breath the lovers are sure

Though not quite saints heaven is near

Prolonging the moment making time seem to still

Hearts beat in union with so much to feel

Fear hides its ugly head in the corners

Whispering doubt at the two lovers

Fear's fear is that doubt would cease to exist

For when they doubt Fear feeds on their flesh

But this night Fear hungers as they doubt no more

Love shines its light as Fear flees through the door

Enamoured in rapture forgetting where one ends

They find that together is where they truly begin

As he swells to the moment she swallows him whole

Her surrender complete as his offers his sword

She buries his sword complete to the hilt

A perfect union to which the stars tilt

So surrender your love as I offer my sword

Let's conquer fear and give it no quarter

The course ours to chart to lose or to win

Open the door let love and hope in

Leave fate in the hallway

Fear's welcome no more

Feed love from our pantry

Let hope guard the door

As fingertips guide to the heavenly bliss

Let lips linger in succulent kiss

Knowing no boundary as spirits explore

Bodies complete never knowing before

Tonight bringing something

So often missed

Tracing our souls

In spiritual mist

We've found it together

In beauty let's play

Anxious for night

Regretting the day

The only regret

To know anymore

Was the way that we lived

Not knowing before

Satin sheets of emotion

Truly exist

Across oceans of time and distance

Anticipating the first moment we kiss

It rather was. Excellent observation. As I stated a beginning.

"Her words crease his soul with their weight" is a beautiful textile image. Last stanza sounds forced only because of the squeezing in to make it rhyme.
