"Yet"

Fantasy unlived
Ill-fated reverie
Questioned, dare I ask?

A once-in-a lifetime
Miracle crying out
Yearning quenched

Soul within my soul
From the same thread
While it glittered

Sunned my heart
In beauty’s eyes
As cherubim smiled

Born of time and place
Purpose, I know not
Sadness of farewell

Palm of your hand, held
Letting us slip
Gentle notes be drowned

Passion’s eye made reason blind
As a ship in the night
Sailing outside my course

In dreams
Your touch still mends
Felt deep within my craving

In silence
Your voice echoes
Suffocating my screams

Your face
A tender, gentle memory
Be forever strong

Your love
Inserted profoundly deep
Not to pale with time

Lingering keepsake
Reminder of why, of when
My spirit gone astray

Sweet sleep
Escape, my eyes close
Holding you so very near

Bond unbroken
Feelings remain
Night fades with the dawn

Tomorrow’s quake
Out of deep slumber
Low tone of love

Power of daylight molests
Teach me to die
Flee the bitter pain

Whispers the fiery flame of day

And
You’re still here…
~Yet~
