and i hold on

and i hold on

i told her to hold on

that i may catch my breath

for she inspired me beyond

all the joys of my imaginations

for all they could embrace

were the dreams

of the possibilities

of what may come to be

how i long to lay my head upon her breast

for i know that my solace

is found in her heart beat

as i listen intently

to the blessings of her presence

with each sacred breath

my fingers long

to dance upon her skin

feeling the soft down

rise to greet me

with a desire now fulfilled

her lips has always

been a wonder of mine

and soon come

i shall taste of the nectar

they offer

just for my pleasure

a treasure i not share  with the world

save in my smiles of satisfaction

that i am blessed

oh the ways of love and longing

the songs my heart now sings

and this moment becomes eternal

as i glisten brightly

in the love

of this dream

of her and i

and i hold on
