To My Lover

Seconds roaring past in
Minutes; breaking barriers of simple
Shifting sights; sounds seeping
And sombre serenity;
Waving at our hidden form
Beneath this tiny life which
To us is all.

Thoughts whispering within
Hours; ricochet reflections that
Reverberate in sweetness echoing,
Silently murmuring
Behind the veil of my secret sin;
The innocent sins which only you
Speak of.

Curse my reproaches and
Delight in that which falls
Short of certainty
Laugh, my love, and dance upon
My heart.
