tangle me within the whispers of the evening
and hold me close within the shadow of the day.
sunset brings with it the kiss of soft remembrance,
pining for the brush of tender touches;
beckon me and steal me away.

i want to be surrounded by your essence,
feeling you inside the marrow of my bones.
i want to drift to sleep with you my final thought,
and wake with you a desperate notion,
my spirit not sated without you near.

you bolster me with words of wisdom.
you clutch my hand through tempests
wrought by human hands; you guide me
through the desert valley. when i am with you
nothing could distill these sentiments…

except to lose myself within the moments and
lose myself within the promise of tomorrow.
sentinel of my soul, my heart kept safe within
the cherished emotions exchanged,
come tangle me within your peace, my reverie.
