Love Search

Starry, starry moonlit summer night
Never letting you go, hugging tight
The wine is gone, the warmth remains
We have talked of all our many gains
Bound closer through words most desired
Leaving no flame, ember or spark unfired
Hands find each other in the deepening night
Drawn by a magnetic pull invisible to sight
I need to know everything about your life
Not only the good but that which brings strife
I would know your deepest, darkest fear
Showing mine in return as I draw you near
Your dark side need not hide from my eyes
It allows your brilliance to fill the night skies
Nothing about you can deter my concerns
You are my heart with all the elusive turns
I will read your palm and feel the heartbeat
See your future boldly written, complete
Not on fragile paper but up in the very stars
Filling the Milky Way like musical bars
An unforgettable, unchained melody played
On the strings of many a heart you stayed
But like many a concert, this one is done
Only to be played over, forever just begun
So in this night we will part company anon
More knowledge of you to learn and think on
You will be my doctorate, a lifetime study
Clouded by emotions, love and life muddy
I'll spend that lifetime seeking clarity anew
Constantly striving to get a little closer to you
