The Woman of My Heart

Who are you?

What is your name?

Where are you?

How long must you hide?

Everyday I long for you, search for you

I want to see your face, so sweet and pretty

I want to smell your scent, clovers of honey and roses

I want to touch your hair, blonde or dark

I want to touch your arms, graceful and strong

I want to feel your skin, ivory and smooth

I want to look into your eyes, blue or rainbow

I want to hear your voice, calm and soothing

You have no perfect image, no set look

Many, in the years long past, faces were you

They had your spirit, your passion, your purpose

Some even mocked your voice, I'd say it was you!

Some comforted me, some tainted me, all have gone from me

And yet all adored me, they saw my heart

But you...you my sweet angel

You heavenly dove, beautiful and radiant as the sun

You are still hidden!

The Lord above keeps us from ever being

Our time, our memories, our story is not yet on display

I long so much, so more

like pain filling the joints

like cavities capturing the teeth

is my longing for you to taste you, my honeydew

to feel you, my feathered dove

to smell you, my gentle flower

to hear you, my soothing whistle

to see you, my wonderful portrait

How long, I cry...How long!

How long, oh Lord, must you keep her from me,

isn't she mine?

How dare I pout,

how dare I snare at the Lord who created love!

Surely in Your time we shall meet

No matter how many come my way

I am searching for you!

I am searching for you, my long lost love!

Please, come to me, hear my voice

I am waiting to love you, for I've already fallen

for you, I say, are mine

You are the woman of my heart
