In the distance...
waves are crashing against majestic rocks...  
I feel your heartbeat against my chest 
as the sound of the water deafens my ears

I need not hear...  
For I feel emotions- way too powerful for words.   
A security, under this blanket of stars, 
that has never been before...  

As the gentle breeze blows through my hair,  
I long to stop the world as it is... Me in your arms....
Swaying to the music of the universe.  
Lost in each other....

Mesmerized by the beauty of our love.  
The pure beauty of untainted love.   
Your arms surround and protect me against the bad.  
I see the stars in your eyes... as I gaze into eternity.

To Barry
