Fire from Within

The fire has burned down low
I can hardly see your eyes
But you gaze with a steady ease
I can feel inside

Time drifts off into memories
The quiet peace of lifetimes
Compacted into one moment like this
Where everything is right

And my heart follows you
Wherever you happen to go
As we fall into our web of dreams
We will not be alone

As you rise by the fading light
Your figure before me a familiarity
I've grown accustomed to believing
Is like my own

The distance between us ebbs
As a tide moving back again
And stirs the gentle, restless fluttering, still
Of my heart from within

In the moment before you speak
Before the words have found your lips
I can feel them
The tone and manner of their kiss

And you reach a hand toward me
As a invitation to Endymion
As a set of wings over vast seas
"Will you follow me?"

And as I rise I sense the darkness is just a veil
A sacred place for us to begin
This life we've chosen together, hand in hand
Where the fires will never dim

OK, I'll be the first to admit to ignorance here.... "As a invitation to Endymion"...... Help me on this phrase please! I'm admittedly completely in the dark as to where (or what) 'Endymion' is!! dunno

Otherwise, a very strong message of devotion and 'oneness' with someone that is REALLY COOL!!!
Welcome to Poet's Corner from the Sunshine State!!! hug
