Filtering through the curtains, shone the full moon, pure light

Obliterating the last speck of colour off Sherlock's face

Evening's shadows caressing the contours where his

Shy-like smile reached his eyes, meeting the returned affection

Opulence in a single moment, where all the world was gone, except

For the two men lingering in each other's warmth, slow motions

Rich in unbidden love, a reality without importance

Each touch an eternity, in which they longed to lose themselves

All was insignificant, meaningless, except for the look in John's eyes as…

Lower, slower, eager, self restraint to hold on to the fulfillment

I, you. Together. Until

Tomorrow comes in the form of morning, sweeping away the magic

Yonder, still, in their fresh memories…Cherished as love.
