First Love

Shy eyes soft and pleading,

Unaware you are of my love for you,

Grace me with your sweet voice,

To calm my trembling heart,

Grace me with your touch,

To ease my aching torment,

My days are shadowed with nightly thoughts,

And dreams crumble at your feet,

As do I,

In my silence,

I pledge my love for you,

In my stillness,

I vow to render myself your heart's worship,

Your desires are the rains,

And I thirst in maddening plight,

So pour upon me,

Embrace me,

Drop by drop,

And let me live in these nightly thoughts,

As you look at me,

Blissfully unaware.
