As darkness falls around me and the light fades from the sky
and the wind begins to guide me as it reaches from on high.
I hear the whispered calling in the quiet cooling rush
that wraps her arms around me in a hidden cloak of hush.

And in that quiet moment when assured of what is real,
when I grant my soul permission to allow my heart reveal
all the passing points of wanting that one lifetime cannot give,
that a soul should never mention for as long as it should live.

Within that hidden stillness that the twilight does decree,
I contemplate the memories that will always stay with me.
The lengths spent in her company just loosely passing time,
as I strolled along beside her quietly wishing she was mine.

How many times lost in her gaze as words fell on my ears
entirely lost within the sounds inviting me draw near.
Aloft on lips that beckoned like an orchids precious bloom,
every captivating sentence sent on redolent perfume.

How her eyes would dance like fire as we would share a quiet time,
exchanging points of interest as her eyes engaged with mine.
The emanating warmth felt from those stolen moments talking.
The all too pleasant feeling being next her when walking.

And as the wind then shifts outside I’ll ponder t’wards the sky.
Did you e’er suspect the reasons that kept urging me draw nigh?
That I longed to sample just one taste of what I knew forbidden
and to share with you the thoughts and dreams I safely kept well hidden.

To stand in place of he who knows the heaven of your touch,
your eyes, your face, your laugh, your smile, the lips I crave so much.
How beautiful that it must feel when mornings rays arrive
to wake and see with each new day an angel by your side.

Once more before I turn and bid another night goodbye
I’ll seek to ask the evening breeze to whisper ‘cross the sky.
A message wrapped in fervour that I long for you to know
of dreams that I’ll not e’er realize, upon those shores of Vigo.

Within that hidden stillness, in the darkness on my own
my prayer will be unto the powers that sit upon their thrones.
That when this lifetime passes and I move onto the next
that I may share my life with you, will be my souls request.
