Lily Conley Poet Free verse

My past, my present, my future - my always

You are the beat of my heart
The thrum in my bones
The light in my soul

You make me feel my best,
And my worst
- The puppeteer at the end of my strings.

You are always so out of reach
One step ahead

A ghost
A ghoul
A dream

You are no more than a cloud in a breeze
A leaf getting swept downstream
- The end of a rainbow.

You live in my heart
And haunt my dreams
You hide in my memories

I am always longing for your touch
To feel your hand in mine
lips against mine

I hope that someday 

I will be the beat of your heart 
The thrum in your bones
The light in your soul

I hope that someday

I will be your always
