Tarry Not a Decade

*TARRY NOT A DECADE* Why am I not beside you right now Why did you have to wait that long Why did you kiss me You live in me, breathe in me I still perceive your scent Your smiles are supposed to be mine alone I don't know how you did it But still can't share you I wish I could put this together and crest it in silver On a dark clouds of the silent night Crest them deep in your heart There they dwell even in the lonely hours of the night When you sweat profusely from the myth and strength of the known stranger When you kiss him deep and confess your eternal love for him. When he sips from your bosom That same fountain I once clung unto Holding firm like i would never let go He kisses you like he owns you. He's wrong You know where and for whom it beats. May be some day somewhere For somewhat a reason, you may find your way back into the vine yard Stay not behind too long my love Tarry not a decade For the gate keeper may soon fall asleep The gate opens at dawn but may not be open till dusk
