evening passes by
and my mind wanders
straying in and out
of what will be
and what did not

touching heaven
that short time
then returning again
to our shared
celebration of pain

desperately seeking
a glimmer of hope
and looking for
a ray of light
beaming once more

as nighttime arrives
my heart jumps
with blistered beats
just one more touch
to reconcile me

knowing the truth
of life’s confusion
and our dilemma
that this path
is no illusion

but your love
persists through time
echoing the song
of your heart’s cry
from a distant land

feeling this heat
oh the joy
sensing your desire
to live once more
freed from mire

an eternity apart
but soon together
in usual formation
life’s true mystery
unfolds in season
