Until Time Ends

As light dances red on the horizon's end we are captured... beneath stars born in a luminous sky the moon rises with a dreamers glow of enchantment our heartbeats pause, the world is silent and still as your face is burned in my heart the silhouette of your form stays motionless against the night as we embrace a vision of misty dreams where heartbeats are felt I welcome your eyes like a sparrow small seeking refuge in a storm trying to cross the bridge to your heart as your whispers of love captured mine held as a prisoner without restraint free to wander in love's wondrous thoughts to the lush meadow of our destiny where love is born, unaware of its first breath when your eyes slowly lifted with a smile inviting me to enter a world where dreams are made where love becomes woven into the fabric of life and caresses are measured like the floating wings of butterflies that wind the clock's hands to eternal from each warm melting kiss welcomed in the slow motion of a vanishing night where the moon is full and lips dance across the skin of desire anchored to love's moors by lover's chains clasp around our arms by our passionate passions driven by hunger searching for a sanctuary until...each chain is released and a veil drops to reveal our internal fires burning exposing our vulnerable hearts with all their scars laid out, as an offering upon the altar of love where two candles are lit ...a promised beacon of truth given to our souls... 6/25/22 contest Free Verse Old or New sponsor Joseph May
