STARGAZING

An ode to a loved one...past or present

As I watch you sleep

     My thoughts run ever so wild

Like the blissful daydreaming

     Of an innocent child

As I lie awake

     Within my sleepless slumber

Your countless beauty

      Always will remain unnumbered

Like the placement of the moon

      Controlling the waves of the ocean

Thoughts of you keep my mind

      In constant perpetual motion

Your hair of pure silk

      Each delicate strand

As if woven with perfection

      By God's own perfect hand

The scent of your skin

      As it permeates the room

Like violets in springtime

      Beginning to bloom

As you lay sleeping

      I watch you for hours

Beauty surpassing a garden

      Adorned with its flowers

Your lips moist and gentle

      Like the fresh morning dew

There are countless creations

      That remind me of you

You lie there angelic

      So peaceful and still

I whisper I love you

      And I always will

Hearts beating in unison

      As if beating in tune

Your heartbeat so gentle

      Like raindrops in June

These memories are so priceless

      Held close to my heart

Memories giving me hope

      While we are apart

Always remember our promise

      Whatsoever you may do

For I will keep your heart

       And pray you keep mine too

For my heart is yours

       Mind , body, and soul

For my ultimate happiness

       Is in your complete control

Our time apart

       Leaves a desolate, empty space

Awaiting that wonderful day

       That I will again see your face

Just know my beloved

       How truly precious you are

So reach now towards the heavens

       And embrace our true loves star

Just remember my precious angel

       That star created a love divine

Tis that star that will reunite us

       Back together in time

Each night before I lay my head

       I wish upon that very star

To love, and guide, and keep you

       No matter where you are

So my dear, When you wish upon our star

       Be it night , or the dawn of day

Tis that star that binds us together

       Always only a heartbeat away....
