Just Stay

Some semblance of a garden dance
prettiest flowers all mid-bloom
forever fragrant invulnerably held tight 
silhouettes entwined on an anxious night 

Little lifts of spirits once tough
freeing melodies craving escape
emerging endlessly in needed trust
eyeing life's angels amongst stardust

Fingertips off slowly painfully slipping 
in wrinkled times of destiny
encumbered splitting me in two
the moon capturing her final view

Mercy floats off on gilded wings
where final pleas and begs fell mute
peering out the gate promise to wait
held in a fractured heart    just stay

When I'm back home I can listen... Your poem is so full of melancholy, yearning and timelessness. I understand that so well.
