Just For a Moment!! *****

Just For A Moment

The look in your eyes, I see
That look I know so well
Staring at you, visions of springtime
The catkins hanging from silver birch trees 
And from the Witch Hazel erupting little buds of pink    
Reawakening from a deep sleep... 
The wonder, before your eyes, a time of letting go...
Darling look at me!
What do you see, you're so far, from me;
I can see that far away look in your eyes
That look that tells me,
That maybe you need more than I can give
Or is it being whom I am
Expecting too much from you
Much more than your prepared to give.
My eyes are drinking the essence of you
Maybe I've become too much for you!
But in my, mind, I see the whole of you
Caressing me!
Following me across the room, your eyes
Skipping a beat a beat my heart, looking at you
But I want you and what resides in my mind.
At times runs away with me;
Irrepressibly, wishing you'd hold me. 
From across the street, I gaze at you  
Across the water from me in my minds eyes,
Through my window pane, I can see you clearly
Even though those gossamer nets of my mind
Impede cannot me from visualising
The light in your eyes!
Ahh, Darling;
Can't you see me looking at you
The hunger in my eyes!
Needing you close so close to me,
In the extremities of my mind,
There I cannot go you see.
But I'd so love you to hold me!
I too can see the hunger in your eyes
Nothing matters!
Nothing at all, you see;
Keeping your distance from me
Me, that adores you caresses you
Whispering to you
Endearments of love
In the darkness of my nights, 
I want you, needing to hold me tight
Telling me it's all right...
As I whisper on to you,
Please, darling, do look at me
What do you see!
Do you see me as I see you
Or do you see me as this infernal thing
In your, minds eyes...
Misunderstanding me!
As I try touching your mind with mine
Your eyes are telling me, something different
Wanting me as much as I do you
In the recesses of my mind
Am crying out for you,
But that won't do!
That I do know:
Just once darling just once!!
Would it do!
Would it be enough!
I stand, gazing across from you
Lust, in my eyes, my blood
Or love! I feel I know not!
But as we loved beneath, the stars
In those fields of green just like any other being;
Exaltation within me reaching a crescendo
Euphorically;
Paramount in my mind nothing;
Absolutely nothing at all;
Above us a velvety blanket of golden stars
Scintillating in the darkest of skies;
Shooting across my firmament that star
Gazing into your eyes,
And wishing on that falling star
Whispering my torment...
Intoxication in the recesses of my mind,
Just for a moment...
