lullaby « ∙ tenderheartmusings ∙

time
slowly
slips away
but carefree
in your arms
I lie content
listening
to my favorite record –
your soft lullaby
serenading me
to sleep

hum me, darling
your sweet lullaby
and let me disappear
in your arms
again

the scent
of your unceasing touch
lingers still,
swinging
like a pendulum
the thoughts of you
are flooding
my every vein

feel our whispers
chase each other
when you come close,
let your kisses
dance softly
on my skin
again

and hush..
don’t question
this or that
who has ever
been able to fathom
the immensity
this heart can contain

be silent and feel
the utter belonging
of our beings
and all that
our love can sustain

hum me, beloved soul
your sweet lullaby
after fading into you
I have found me again

…..

exhausted tears,
enflamed lips
forbidden solace
in sweetheart’s fingertips

droplets of honey
sweetness, that is craved
music of the heart’s truth
played, in a thousand different ways

rich in happiness
poor in gold
a tickling lullaby surrounds,
lo and behold

hush! a secret is being whispered
in these fleeting instants
immortal soul, condemned for love
love bestowed, a story told
