If Ever

Home » Love Poems » Poem
if i stood
on the ledge
of darkness
aglow in the light
of moonbeams
flickering
like a lost star
beneath clouds
of life's doubt
would you 
step out of shadows
and let yourself
be known

my soul 
has searched
the deepest caverns
scoured hills
and valleys below
looking for yours
but only finds you
masked in dreams
still unknown
as a mystery
that may never be

i've walked
the shores
of eastern seas
counted the grains
of timeless sand
as days until we meet
then felt the lash
of storms
push me back
into the starkness
of reality
as salted sprays
kissed my lips
instead of yours

yet i still yearned
to feel your breath
arousing me
in the winds
that wrapped me
in a blanket of thoughts

i still imagine
the feel
of your touch
against bare flesh
as each day closes
against the darkness
in endless dreams

time is moving
more quickly 
these days
as the years
are fading
of hope

yet still
i await
the spark
of your soul
to light mine
in the flames
of passion
if ever we were
to meet
then arise
like dawn
against
horizons
in an endless
glow
