Lingering

L ingering in the corner,
of this desolate night.

Mindful of the darkness,
as my eyes lose their sight.

Clouds cover and storm is near.
Passion is high as my heart fears.

Anticipating.
In my mind debating.

Wondering if it may be,
if in me he will see,
what words cannot declare.

Pacing and tracing the lines
to his heart.

In his eyes I will fall,
let go of it all.

Night is covering me,
smothering me,
as I await.

Slowly and coldly,
I fall to a slumber.
Alone I lie,
as my heart sighs.

As my love retreats,
he takes a seat.
I awake to his warmth,
as it covers me.

Quietly,
he sits next to me.
Silent words spoken,
to my heart that was once broken.

Silence mended,
understood what he intended.
Hearts blended,
as our warmth amended.

Lifted me,
in his arms to see.
Face to face in an unending embrace.

With such strength,
as he held,
in his arms I would melt.

He swept away the cold breeze,
underneath the swaying trees.

Gave away the lingering thoughts,
no longer distraught.
As I feel what is real,
his body near mine.

My heart and my mind,
no longer rewind.
The heart asunder is replaced,
with this embracing grace.

Meshed within,
flesh and skin.
Hearts and Minds,
together bind.

No longer to linger.
No desolate night.
Replaced by the coldness is our new plight.
