heart's desire

holding hands, we walk in the moonlight,
trees covered with snow, glisten like diamonds.
we delight in the beauty around us,
our hearts drawn together.

we stop and hold one another,
in my arms, your head against my chest.
your soft hair, gently caresses my face,
I breathe your fragrance into my soul.

tentatively, we kiss.
time stops, all things cease as we embrace.
the warmth and softness of your lips is all,
nothing else exists, there is only our kiss.

gazing at each other as we draw apart,
hope and longing, mirrored in our eyes.
are we the answer to our dreams,
the fulfillment of long held desire?

holding hands, we walk in the moonlight,
expectation and yearning awakened,
perfection of hope and passion,
embodiment of our deepest want.
