My Lifetime of Gold


It was a silent night that I felt wholly to be in love with you,

All was calm and the moon brightened the night sky to blue,

A sensation felt this deeply must be of Heaven if felt true,

Paradise is but your essence as to breathe in fills me through,

 

I have prayed prayers in desperation to feel your kiss at last,

Yes, I have prayed desperately as I feared time moved too fast,

A desperate prayer brought by feeling time’s line had been cast,

I must absorb this moment as I hold your tender hand at last,

 

You are the air my lungs desire if air from yonder garden come,

If your exhale has placed your essence of particle delight some,

Breathe deep I will and treasure it until my lungs no longer hold,

For you, you sweet young angel are to be my lifetime of gold.
