Don't be too long, my love

Don't be too long, my love
for the dawn is creeping through my fingers,
and the echo of your voice, like a river,
sails in my dreams, though without oars.

Come to me like the rushing wind,
that sweeps my sorrows away and diverts them,
like the tide that kisses the shore,
and is not afraid to get lost in its watery embrace.

Let me feel the warmth of your skin,
the subtle touch that throws me into the abyss,
like waves bursting in sweet laurel,
writing our spells in the air.

Let me be the moon in your night,
the lighthouse that guides your weary ship,
a shooting star in your wasteful sky,
and an eternal refuge where you are loved.

Don't be too long, my love
as the hours hang in time,
I dream of the moment when you arrive, I long for
your embrace, your laughter, and the peace I nourish.
