WHISPERS

Vincent, listen to your heart,

Let it speak to you of beautiful things,

Of things that really can come true

If only you let yourself believe,

If only you let yourself dream.

Take me in your arms

So that I may know the nearness of your body,

So that I may know the feeling of your love –

Close to me, touching me.

Let me lose myself in the depths of your embrace,

In the strength, the beauty, of your body.

I feel the warmth of your breath upon my skin,

As sighs, that echo with longing, brush through my hair,

Touching my soul,

Soft as a whisper on the breath of God.

How could I refuse your love?

How could I refuse the beauty that you offer me?

Touch my senses with your wanting,

Touch my body with your need,

Let all rational thought be lost to the beating of your heart,

To the glory of your desire.

Only then will I be a part of you,

Only then will you live in me.

For here in your arms I am lost in the power of your love,

A love too deep, too beautiful, even for tears.

Here in your arms I am lost to a world of contentment,

A world beyond imagining,

For here in your arms

I am lost in you.
