Porcelain Façade
Standing on a balcony
Thinking and dreaming
She waits and she watches
She should be in bed
She waits up in the late hours
Can't sleep without him
Whispering his name over again
As if to conjure him from the air
Silent thoughts and a whispered prayer
To bring him running back to her
He is running
To fast to see
Can't be blocked by road or tree
He scales the wall
High as it is
Wanting to be with what is his
Illuminated by candle light
Her face glowing softly in the dark night
A beacon of hope and a reminder of home
Her eyes lit by the reflection of the pool
Beyond the courtyard, he sits, like a fool
Watching her wait, her beauty to much
For him to aspire to feel just a touch
Hair like silk
And body divine
Her lips shine cherry-like
On skin of wine
A porcelain façade
Etched deep in gold
She is too breath-taking
For him to behold
