Celestial Love

Soothing sounds of your breathing

Comfort me throughout the night

Wherever it is, you're dreaming

Of - I'll meet you when I take flight.

Hours while away - Time is

but another facet

of our paper existence.

Over the moors, we made promises

Chasing each other - wildly free -

Like Brontë's Catherine and Heathcliff

Our transcendent love, will last an eternity.

Years will pass - Time is

but another facet

of our paper existence.

But this frugal existence - we will eke out;

This too shall pass - it is not enough.

Our true heaven - we will seek out

Beyond the pasture and this Earth.

A celestial night-time endeavour -

Worldly concrete comforts - we'll surrender.

And with your cold translucent hand in mine

Away from this universe undivine,

our souls will ascend intertwined.

A/N: The title of this collection immediately made me think of my other half - my life partner, my husband. I wrote this one for him a few days ago. I though it might fit nicely into this collection!
