A Ripple in Clear Water

Laying open my heart
Beneath a luminous cluster of stars
There is a melody
Swimming in the cold air
And mingling with emotions in blue-gray eyes
Like a ripple in clear water, I see it twist and change
Becoming more than what it was
and returning to simplicity
Running fingers through blue-black tresses
My lips make way for the words you put in my mouth
Words that I only dreamed of ever owning
Often did I wonder if we viewed the same stars at night
if our lips sought the comfort of others
in false hopes of quelling our hearts of longing for one another
There was something
To be found in your blue-gray eyes
in that you felt every word
I still don't know quite what it was, but I found it
Beneath the light of the moon
The only witness to our union
Beneath a cloak of stars
Pouring emotion into emotion
Draining away
Entwined fingers, lying together side-by-side
I love you
