People Made Of Love

People Made of Love

I sit here waiting for the man that I love

The stars are shining in the night skies above

The moon is hanging just over the hill

And all of the world is silent and still.

My love throbs inside me like the beat of a drum

Waiting for him and the moment to come

When my eyes fall upon him and his eyes meet mine

And he kisses my mouth with his own, sweet as wine.

These are moments I cherish

These are moments of bliss

His dark eyes full of passion,

His mouth burning kiss.

I will wait for his shadow to fall upon me

I will wait for his eyes to acknowledge and see

I will wait for his hunger as hungry as mine

To make it's need known, to show me it's sign.

And there in the darkness when the whole world is still

I will give myself to him, I will bend to his will

I will stand there before him with my candle and spark

And we'll love like before and we'll dance in the dark.

He's a phantom and ghost

He's a thief in the night

He's a mythical man

That only lives in my sight.

I conjured him up one night in my mind

And I created him from my own special design

And I loved him to life with my need and my want

And gave him my heart to dwell in and haunt.

And he lives there in shadow, a spectre and myth

The man that I long for and want to be with

Just a thought in my brain that I breathed into form

That took on flesh and blood with no need to be born.

They might say I am mad

And they may rightly think so

But the man that I made out of love

Doesn't know.

He's as real as I am

And I will always be

But what only I know

Is that my lover made me.

He made me of dreams and wishes and wants

And gave me his own heart to dwell in and haunt

And we met in the darkness when the full moon was bright

And we clung to each other and we danced in the night.

And when morning had come with it's bright yellow sun

The night fled away and we two turned to run

For we couldn't exist in the exposure of day

And we held hands there tightly as we faded away.

 But we met soon again

When the white moon was full

And the forces of wanting

With their pleasure and pull.

Drew us back to the yearning

And to love's glowing spark

To take form out of shadow

And to dance in the dark.

I don't know if forever is a word meant for us

We who don't know of breathing or heart beat or pulse

We are creatures of dreams, substantial enough

To take form for short moments

Though we're made out of love.

People made out of love

And magic and dream

Not made like mere mortals

Who are just what they seem.

We are haunting and haunted

And we know of none else

I am created by him

And he sprang from myself.

And now I sit here waiting for the man that I love

Again to appear with the full moon above

The passing of time is a blade that cuts sharp

For people like us that exist in the dark.

We didn't learn how to hold back the time

I just wanted his love and he wanted mine

So we conjured and created but something went wrong

And our moments are magic but they do not last long.

Perhaps one day we'll learn that trick

From magicians who are much more clever

And my love and I can live and love

And dance here in the dark forever........................
