Solitude in Roses

Dream a dream, forget tomorrow.

Forget the lingering wants and desires.

All that matters is only now.

It is the thoughts which set the soul afire.

Time and again, I will see you

As you drift in and out of rooms,

Unaware I am watching.

Unaware I am aching for you.

Winds will shift and daylight will break,

But I will wait for you until eternity collides with my sun.

Until every last breath has escaped forever.

So I will comprehend the stillness of that silence.

And in the stillness of that silence, I will find you.

I will find you as I always do:

Shining lights in your eyes

With that playful grin, I long to see.

A smile that tells me you are mine.

A confirmation that you can

And will chase away the demons

Encroaching upon my night.

I will hear your all too familiar voice,

I will feel your unimaginable

And unforgettable touch,

And I know then, I am safe.

You are my hero.

You are my knight.

You will bend the powers of the universe

And time to reach me.

And nothing anyone can do

Will ever keep us apart

For we are linked forever

In body and heart.
