Earth Angel

Gently, softly you've entered into the shadows of my heart

and banished the darkness that dwelled within me.

Using only True Love as your weapon to set my soul a blaze

with a passion, a desire, unlike anything I have ever known.

To say I want you is to state the obvious.

To say I need you, I long for you, for us to be as one,

as one soul pure of heart should be,

is to say I love you more than life.

I lay awake at night staring at the stars.

I feel as though I can almost touch their radiant light

as it beams down on me giving me comfort

when I am alone without you.

When the stars seem to change their shape,

to a new unearthly form.

To a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, as brilliant as the stars

and a smile as warm as the sun.

I reach to touch what seems to be a playful angel

sent to me by God.

When I realize that in truth,

I am reaching out for you.
