You danced and prayed
for tomorrow:
while yesterday lingers
a heartbeat spun
& now forgotten.

Only in my mind:
only as long as the
sun shines on this
miniscule movement
of time.

Only I remember your
face the trace
of your love lingers
like a warm bed
on a winter’s night.

Only I remember the
night time whispers
the soothing hand
on nightmare brow
the generosity of how

you let me shine.

Only for you I
linger now
waiting for sleep
waiting for you
to come for me.

When the unknown
tale begins
and the
last glimpse of
life flickers.
