Wings Of Love

Preparing to take flight From far across the sea As on the wings of a dove My true love waits for me This dove has no feathers Not a beak, or even eyes To guide its lonely path Through dark and foreign skies This creature has no blood Yet it carries with it my heart On glistening wings of white The long awaited journey starts These wings carry with them My fondest hopes and dreams I watch and not so patiently wait For an eternity it seems Seconds seem like hours Hours seem like days My heart beats in anticipation Of meeting his loving gaze My heart now ceases to beat If only for one minute As I watch the dove descend Knowing all my love is in it Tears of joy fill my eyes As this wondrous bird does land I turn to see a loving face Emerge with outstretched hands Hazel eyes that pierce my soul Now upon me gaze I can't wait to hold you in my arms I've been waiting for this for days The bird of love sits idly by As we kiss and head on our way For five short days of heaven I wish he were here to stay The days they pass so swiftly We wonder where they went Five days and nights of passion Never better my time been spent Time together has quickly passed Once again my eyes fill with tears It's hard to deal with the emotions Of my hopes and dreams and fears My heart cries "Baby, please don't go" But my mind knows he can't stay This thing doesn't look like a bird of love But rather a bird of prey We say our tearful goodbyes And complete them with a kiss I know with all my heart It's more than his touch I will miss This day the bird doesn't seem so lovely I think it looks nothing like a dove I know now it will take him away But it can never carry away my love Written October 8th, 2001 © on Oct 08 2001 07:28 AM PST   18 • 0 • 8
