Girl Beneath the Tree

Girl Beneath the Tree


I dance; your song sways me, a leaf on a tree.
My hair falls around my shoulders in waves
That shine with all your favored tones.
I sing; your visage fills me, pools of clear water.
My eyes foresee your coming and picture you,
Gleaming with the colors you love.
I laugh; your words thrill me, a swirling zephyr.
My fingers long to run through your hair
And pull you close the way you like so much.
I sigh; your troubles agonize me, a steady hearth.
My hand aches to hold yours as we walk our path,
Traveling beside you the way you need me to.
I groan; your body ignites me, an untamed blaze.
My mouth waters at the thought of you as close
And as passionate as you wish to be.
I wait; your absence defines me, an ever-changing entity.
My essence lives in you, biding its time,
Until you find my final definition.
