My Queen

I’m trapped in a fantasy,
Thinking of a smile I’ve never seen.
Not yet in your presence,
But helplessly addicted to you,
To thoughts of you.
Calling it love feels too tame.

How to describe the fire in my heart,
From the enchantment of your name?
Words can’t capture the paradise,
Your gaze takes me to.
Each morning, waking in a dream,
Turning to see your face…
Forgetting it’s all imagined,
Not yet real.
My heart knows you,
Experiences you completely,
Still craving more.
More memories, more you, more everything…
Unashamed, a hopeless fiend,
Dreaming of being your king,
You, my queen.

Searching for you,
Night steals my sleep.
Surfing darkness,
Sorting thoughts of where you might be.
Is your heart leading you closer to me?
Reaching out like mine,
Waiting for you to grab hold,
To reel you in.
To shore, into my arms,
Where you belong.
Or have we met,
But missed each other?
Our hearts blind,
Or grown weary from the search?
What pain have you endured?
Beaten down, hurt,
Saying enough is enough…
I pray our divine meeting is yet to come.
Our longing souls converging,
Made whole.
Don’t give up searching,
I won’t.
I plan to love you in ways beyond fairy tales.

Eyes closed,
Hearing droplets turn to streams,
Pouring questions into a goblet.
Unanswered, expanding with time.
Looking beyond,
Seeing us,
Surrounded by blurred silhouettes,
In focus, just us two.
Sharing bliss,
A coat in summer rain,
Shielding us from the world,
Wrapped in soft seams.
Affirmations of truth,
Where I belong.
Wherever you are,
We’ll complete our song.
From first movement to last,
Playing on and on…

What I want you to know,
Though you’ll be my greatest,
You won’t be the first.
Other duets,
Thought to be love,
Left a greater thirst.
Sublime signs,
Enjoyable pauses,
Feeding heart and mind.
Honey turning to brine,
Deep painful scars.
A fool for love,
I keep trying…
Excited for the journey,
Hopeful for the destination.
Sharing with who seemed you,
Revealed as reflections.
Admitting, I’m a fool,
Seen the suds, rinsed, repeated.
Undeterred, more encouraged.
Constructing your kingdom,
Behind callused walls,
Circling ravine.
You’ll rule my heart,
So hide no more,
Stake your claim, my queen.
