twas not for me
to sacrifice
names denied their place
of lovers never knowing –
something more to me
than grace

the ways to home
so seldom clear –
as fate sometimes unfair
dreams are weaved to lockets –
ribbons for my hair

to share of these
sweet mysteries –
of questions yet to be
answers wrapped in waiting –
return as love to me

forgotten now
our reasons –
time was stopped by will to know –
wonder still surrounds me
when nights are long
and cold

reminders of forever –
few can borrow
none can steal –
of moments we remain the same
as first the truth revealed

a rush of breath
becomes my skin –
as voices haunt the dark
a love beyond
my reasoning –
awaits my eager heart
