I see you today
A swan, graceful and diving
Far away, into the deep blue sky.

But tonight you reach
for my heart; you touch
the deepest well of my soul.

Your feathers drape across my cheek,
leaving graceful swirls of down
to lead me down to sleep.

You sing for me to sleep,
your swan song lulling me
into a drifting slumber.

I cannot bring myself
to resist your tender touch
You are my downfall,
my pure white beauty.

I feel your heart,
its gaze, every facet
of your face upon my own.

I see you, my dear one
Swan face, human heart,
my cherished beloved.

I leave you now,
but only for slumber,
my woman disguised
as perfection.
