As I embrace you

Hush for the night, stay still, stay quiet
Close your eyes and feel the warmth
Under the blanket sheets of a blizzard
As I embrace you, letting our souls merge.

I love you with a might o’er those of heroes
Who too stepped foot upon lush grass
‘Neath the beguiling night seen in darkness
I shall love you ever more, everlasting.

Smile, dear, melt the covering snow away
The frost of mine, the one that covers me
Give me confidence and let the pasture sparkle
Like it did ere the time of your engagement

I shall be in an eternity with you in my arms
A fantasy seen through the inward eye
Smile again, be it not for me-
I shall still claim it as if it was meant to be mine.
