Somber Love
Enslaved by clocks time piece, degenerating cold
Hours on end, defined as denigrated, old and retired
On movements standing still, of slow motion hands going nowhere fast
I wait in pain for her, my lover, with empathy endured
On shores of emptiness with hope, a cure for our tomorrow
Anticipation ends, when she approaches happy on the path again
Glowing as she laughs to break the curse of times embrace
Free to be released together once again forever
Soft feathers hide beneath, in pillows on the bed in secret
My love returns to me
We begin to settle with the covers fold
Concealed by morning for our privacy
As we become the lovers that we can
Fill in the vacancy of stolen moments in an instance with a kiss
Haunting desolation replaced by tenderness
We fall complete into the pillows dream
Flowing over meadows lavender
Heathers slow motion caresses gentleness
Waves of beauty through the breezes flow
In gestures royal above calm heavens held in hand
To fall in love as once before, once again, once more
We hold each other tighter for the warmth
Somber love endures into tomorrow in due course
