Whisper

whisper to me where ere you are

though I know you not

I will hear your voice

matters not where I am

your words will be delightful

will cause a smile

ere though I sleep

sleep and yearn for

mystery woman of my dreams

lovers are lovers

only if they love truthfully

dreaming of distant strangers

who dream same dreams as do you

whisper of eternal love

accept them into my heart

where they will live everlastingly

bolstering my own commitment

to our eventual physical entanglement

overflowing with sweet honey

for you to taste

forever shall our love be real

I call upon the great gods as witness

I taste your sweetness

in slumber which you bequeath to me

so do you accept from me

that which I provide so willingly

like a tender leaf brushing across my mouth

the taste of love is exquisite

as the nights multiply

I take pleasure from your beautiful

unknown face

I feel your eyes upon mine

across the void we chance to meet

in wondrous, pleasing dreams

I awake knowing we will

someday

someway

surely make our dreams come true
