My Life's Nurse

 


(A lone voice whispers in the dark) 


Her gentle graceful touches are so beautiful and incredibly captivatingly 

Soothing  



They seem to play a delightful melody 

To vanquish all my mortal fears  



Like the rarest of heavenly sunsets 

That emerges with a twinkling smile 

In the midst of pink and red frontiers  



When time itself 

Appears to stop flexing and moving  



Swirling like a god-like deity 

In a newly lit sky  



She is the quintessence of glamour 

In a night-time high society ball  



Filled with dancing masked courting fireflies


Who watches her every fluid movement 

In jaw-dropping awe  



When they pause to rest on one of my beautifully 

Wallpapered walls  



A rare evening 

Serenading the gathering of a few enamoured spirits  



Where honoured souls 

Gather in their best dresses 

And bespoke suits to readily confess  



Her delicate hands 

Move like Mother Moon 

Gently over my trembling horizons  



Whispering my secret name 

And claiming me as her domain  



For we are now consummate lovers 

And no longer just worldly friends  



A bright new world is always breathed into light a

And lost in delicious touches 

In that spectacular twilight  



For under the gaze of my devotion  


I can only reflect her love in my hazel-coloured lens  



The darkness surrounding us 

Like an old friend


Sings a lasting symphony 

Of happiness and lingers in the celestial 

As angels watch and smile  



No man-made treaties 

Or paper laws 

Can separate us  



For now, our passions in the midnight sun  

Soon will wildly run  



We'll never lose this particular twilight 

And these baptised rays will never lose their red and pink hue  



For when we first met  



I'll always remember 

That I willingly sunk knee-deep 

Into your green and blue  



For in that magical transference of spiritual energy  



I knew in that metaphysical moment 

Why God had sent me and it's why now  


I'll always belong to just you.
