Don’t You Know?

Don't you know it?

I long to feel the skin upon your face,
The brush of whiskers nettled on your chin
And when I reach to touch, you to embrace
I find that I am forced to reach within

For - don't you know?

I tremble all the day and all night long
My body eager, vibrating as you strum
The heartstrings of such a familiar song
Fingers not yet on flesh, yet I you thrum

The depths between us bide in another place,
Entwined and dancing lovers, 'round we spin,
In happy dreams and love, ethereally encased,
Far from the heat and noise of this life's din

And I cannot foresee another way
Than dancing deeply in a world unknown
So I will live and love another day
That one day, maybe soon, depths will be shown

That, maybe one day soon, I will be yours
And you'll be mine, in body too;
That one day soon, we'll dance through doors
And ethereal worlds we'll live, both I and you

So, don't you know?

My heart is bound to yours, and lost to me
It's yet my mind you kiss, that you must woo
And I, lost in this fantasy
Somehow made real, this life, by your love true

And - you must know!

Forever, in this time
That you are yours, and also I am thine;
That I belong to me, and you are mine!
That we are ours, forever-love sublime
