ABSENCE

In the dead of the night
Betwixt darkness and light
I lie awake, thinking of you
Silence fills the air
As my heart is laid bare
Thinking of love that is so true

My mind is now clear
Of what I hold dear
Wishing we were both in the same place
The sounds of a wave
As my heart begins to crave
The presence of your beautiful face

But I must await for a while
Before I see your sweet smile
My longing for you is hard
My heart fills with glee
When you say you love me
Your humble but horny bard!
