[hometext] => This one is written in a style very different from my other postings.
[bodytext] => These arms, they long to hold you as I dreamed you, a candle, piercing darkness in the darkest night. Tho strange, these fears, in light of day they taunt, still I am fearless but, this love I dream invulnerable, a fragile flame at whisper’s threats. And all I can do to save it is to keep this candle lit. So in the hours of my waking I shall not closely speak nor whisper how I love you. I’ll never whisper what I long for; those lips softly pleasing, sensual kisses, warm and slow. But, in the silent darkness of my precious dreams where my love for you; forever; and ever is, desired. Oh, how I’ll live while dreaming. Oh, how I lived in candle’s fire breathing life and knowing love. But now, aware of all that’s due in toll for breath and whispering of midnights past and moonlights drifting tangled words of precious things beneath my wings of waking. Now candles dowsed in morning dew. Shattered dreams of me and you, And pieces of a broken heart lay quiet on my bed.
