In a lifetime of daydreams
beauty never nested in my hair
but swam in my mind
looking through my eyes
and felt itself breathe
when it saw you
like a sunrise
or sunset
or speckled through the canopy
of my wishes and hopes
fantasies really
for I would never dare to disturb that picture of you
that brings me such peace
so my kiss will be the breeze
you enjoy and hardly notice
caressing your cheek, arms
ears and toes
and my love will be some passing thought
nostalgic and a little sad
like the memory of some beautiful melody
you barely remember
and your name will be my heart
a warm voice
wanting nothing
