Only

You danced and prayedfor tomorrow:while yesterday lingersa heartbeat spun& now forgotten.Only in my mind:only as long as thesun shines on thisminiscule movementof time.Only I remember yourface the traceof your love lingerslike a warm bedon a winter’s night.Only I remember thenight time whispersthe soothing handon nightmare browthe generosity of howyou let me shine.Only for you Ilinger nowwaiting for sleepwaiting for youto come for me.When the unknowntale beginsand thelast glimpse oflife flickers.
