Hourglass

Nows my chance to let you know
exactly how I feel.
With fiery words of love and care,
that warm a winters chill.

You mean to me a river
of endless flowing love.
Who's waters are as pure,
as the whitest country dove.

I need you like I need to breathe,
Important as a growing seed.
Who's life depends on love and light
And shelter on a stormy night

You are my love.
You are my light.
You are my shelter
On that night.

That night when I am lost at sea
and cannot find my way.
You are the lighthouse of my life,
with a perfect shinning ray.

Our love will last forever,
Or is eternity defined?
As those two words are trapped,
encased, in the spans of time.

For what we have together
is not etched in chalk.
Our love is far more infinite.
It completely stops the clock.

The tenderness of your kiss,
creates a sudden stop in time.
As if your perfect body hourglass
where lying softly on its side.
