Love Accounted

Time for recompense has come and gone,
 lightly kissing your pale cheek.
Fingers twist in agony like strength,
 pacing back and forth.
A shadow crosses the doorway atop the steps;
 images are lost upon a weary soul.
Silhouettes lead to dream-like trances
 where your thought-stream reaches out to me.
Unwind those fingers, twist them with mine.
Hold me accountable for all the ways you love me,
 and I will bind you to me as well.
