Love Poem: No Mercy

No Mercy

I can feel it coming
a change is in the air
it is not from fall to winter
I feel that lingers there

too far off to touch
the hands you feel not mine
buried with the memories
another place in time

clock ticks away the hours
as your kiss touches her skin
the unrelenting passion
that place where I have been

as I search for mercy
many miles before I dream
awake in the middle of night
cause the mercy escapes me

my heart is searching for mercy
even that won't set me free
