We Once Held Time

we once held time as if it was a never-ending story sitting beside your bed watching the monitors announce vitals tubes running in and out we have been reduced to moments as i hold the hand dearest to my heart watch the slow slipping away i hold a deeper strength within you gave me knowing what we have is yet to come that we have only held a crumb of Love's feast we were meant for more then just a life with each other we were a promise that will be kept we are that first breath, destined in Perpetuum when once again we embrace where you will finally dance with perfection how i will miss those little mistakes i so adored about you as we waltz thru the galaxies in your arms, in your eyes, in eternity once again i have stolen his lines the thief who stole my heart on a park bench when i finally made him close his book of poetry and kiss me i was not to be a Beatrice denied Zorro must surrender the mask with his first kiss, his soft yet secure embrace whisked me into the infinity of his tenderness i wait in the fullness of his love until i am in his caress again when this dinner for one becomes an empty table that escaped into where dreams are more then forevermore they live in the Grace of God's Fate who long knew us before that first breath where vows evaporate into a Promise fulfilled 1/2/18
