Mind in twilight
Shadows playing
Across eyes
Half closed
Breathing slowly
She creeps into his
Arms like a delicate
Mist finds morning –
Before the sun rises
Before he realizes
He is dreaming of
Her smile
Azure eyes that
Touch his soul
Lips – that kiss
His heart with
Gentle words that
Find home as he
Traces freckles
On her silken back
Lips – pressed to his cheek
Forming words softly
– a whisper of wind
Carrying promise of a
Heart joined at last
Lips – too shy to say
I miss you
Lips – too scared to say
I love you
He hears only the wind
As she disappears in a
Silence that speaks
Louder than words to a
Heart that sleeps with tears
As silent witness
