Dearest Darling

Amidst a holy sanctuary during the croon of ceremonious lullabies Your lovely image graciously occupied the vacant space beside me Truth be told your godly nature spoke to me in heavenly whispers Ah, the soft, subtle glow of your smooth, pearly white skin Sparkled within the golden crescent of the Holy Ghost My ears hearkened the sound of each syllable escaping From between the surface of your tender lips The aroma of your marvelous scent teleported me Directly into another dimension with remarkable ease And just like the summer haze, you took my breath away Leaving a lengthy trail of curiosity upon my soul Free falling I had collapsed within the charm That you had so graciously bestowed upon me Lord only knows how long I have been watching you, Yet from a distance I would always smile and wave Timid beyond reason, never have I dared to speak before you For fear of being consumed by the kiss of fear itself I mean you not an ounce of harm Nor have I ever known of it Oh, my dearest darling Do you not understand? The meaning that lies Behind these words, These emotions, These tears I may not mean a thing to you, But I exist as I am From every corner of Mother Earth, My heart sends messages Across the seas of love A love known by that of no other Of which your eyes have before seen Tainted by sin I may be, Yet sin defines not Who I will grow to be Let me fall, oh, darling, let me fall If I'm meant not to know of love, Know I am nothing at all By Glenn McCrary © 2011 (All rights reserved)
