Your Ways

~

“Shadows grow so long before my eyes”

In silhouettes of dreams past and present

Deep within my desperate heart,

as I yearn for your love, reaching for my pen,

digging through postage stamps and paperclips

“And they’re moving, across the page”

Producing odd shapes on striped paper,

outlines of shaded emotions and verses

Calling out your name in bold ink

and rhyming stanzas of affection

“Suddenly the day turns into night”

Twilight steps over the horizon

as tree top edges touch newly glowing stars

Peering through curtains of cosmic lace

and flickering candlelight with soft breezes

“Far away, from the city”

Miles counted by minutes can be

a daunting task if I hesitate, yet footsteps in the dark

follow paths illumined by your eyes,

as my need grows for your love…I just can’t wait

“Oooh baby, I love your ways”
