An Elegant Catstrophe Deserves a Tremulous Rebirthing

He says they’re perfect, though I anticipate disaster
A lover’s loss becomes a lowly patron’s cherub
This hand that he holds isn’t ever enough
So he searches for his ultimate completion
She sighs as she ponders, her mind runs erratically
Reminiscing the days elapsed
Adoration in her eyes, passion thrashing in her soul
She searches for his heart gone askew
A demanding presence disturbs his mind
With thoughts of her and her delicate heart
Her lingering passion flickers fervently now
As the truth is growing shamefully valid
The thoughts he must convey swim in his mind
Yet not one word dares pass through his mouth
Her tears must fall to reveal the blank reality
Still she defies her trembling lips
Not one word said, no move has been made
An aspiration is destroyed, yet a desire obeyed
He clasps her hand and holds her close
She swallows hard trying to moisten her throat
A passionate kiss upon her trembling lips
A covenant repaired through numerous hardships
