Somber Love

Enslaved by clocks time piece, degenerating cold Hours on end, defined as denigrated, old and retired On movements standing still, of slow motion hands going nowhere fast I wait in pain for her, my lover, with empathy endured On shores of emptiness with hope, a cure for our tomorrow Anticipation ends, when she approaches happy on the path again Glowing as she laughs to break the curse of times embrace Free to be released together once again forever Soft feathers hide beneath, in pillows on the bed in secret My love returns to me We begin to settle with the covers fold Concealed by morning for our privacy As we become the lovers that we can Fill in the vacancy of stolen moments in an instance with a kiss Haunting desolation replaced by tenderness We fall complete into the pillows dream Flowing over meadows lavender Heathers slow motion caresses gentleness Waves of beauty through the breezes flow In gestures royal above calm heavens held in hand To fall in love as once before, once again, once more We hold each other tighter for the warmth Somber love endures into tomorrow in due course
