We Once Held Time
we once held time
as if it was a never-ending story
sitting beside your bed
watching the monitors announce vitals
tubes running in and out
we have been reduced to moments
as i hold the hand dearest to my heart
watch the slow slipping away
i hold a deeper strength within you gave me
knowing what we have is yet to come
that we have only held
a crumb of Love's feast
we were meant for more
then just a life with each other
we were a promise that will be kept
we are that first breath, destined in Perpetuum
when once again we embrace
where you will finally dance with perfection
how i will miss those little mistakes
i so adored about you
as we waltz thru the galaxies
in your arms, in your eyes, in eternity
once again i have stolen his lines
the thief who stole my heart on a park bench
when i finally made him close
his book of poetry and kiss me
i was not to be a Beatrice denied
Zorro must surrender the mask
with his first kiss, his soft yet secure embrace
whisked me into the infinity of his tenderness
i wait in the fullness of his love
until i am in his caress again
when this dinner for one
becomes an empty table
that escaped into where dreams
are more then forevermore
they live in the Grace of God's Fate
who long knew us before that first breath
where vows evaporate into a Promise fulfilled
