Back in an Hour

Back in an Hour

I saw you

See through me. 

With a cool brush of a kiss,

You swept past,

On your way

Somewhere.  

What held you captive,

What stifled your fire,

What emptied your eyes?

Where was

Your heart?

And how long

Had it been missing

Before I even noticed?

I have seen your eyes 

Warm and bright

But not for me

Today. 

Your lips said,

"I love you."

Maybe you do

When you can, 

But

Not now. 

Not this moment. 

I will find you. 

I will capture your heart.  

I will press against you

Until I melt you

With my fire. 

I will love you

Until your eyes reflect it,

Until your lips can't help

Spilling your soul

To me,

Until you fall into my arms,

Broken and whole. 

I will be your world,

Your refuge,

Your strength,

Your home. 

I am awake. 

I am alive. 

I am yours.
