Am I Hiding ?

It began with a smile,
as all good love stories do.
A splendid aroma wafts my way,
And I know, it is all you.

Eyes meeting, searching hope,
That those feelings be re-paid.
We remain steady, patient,
Waiting, lest we give it away.

But you and I know certainly,
As the wind of change,
Has brought us close together,
That we should not idle.

Here I am, guarding love,
But from what, and from whom ?
Your eyes so furtive, bright,
entice me from shelter.

Would that I leave cover,
Where safety is my friend.
Out into the open, light,
Without shadows to dread,
Or dark byways to tread.

And you beckon me still,
Throwing back your silky hair,
Tempting my advances, hotly.
As if I'd not already fallen.

Crazy emotions rife, longing,
Desire building quickly, relentlessly.
Oh that I could kiss you,
And reach heaven once more.
