You are the Life in This Planet of Death

You are the life in this planet of death

and I watched you walk away

The sun hung high, the air was hot

Silent tears followed you as you left.

Could you feel it to?

Did you hear my prayer into the howling wind?

"Please, keep him close, keep him safe

and bring him safely home to me..."

I stood watching after you

long after you had gone

Watching the wind erase your trail

The sun finally set.

The chill night arrived

and I finally returned home...

only to journey to your room

and breathe in the scent of you.

The stars shown down upon me

as I laid in your bed

my head upon your pillow

Your presence was everywhere

and I welcomed it with tears.

Minutes turned to hours

as I finally fell asleep....

I awaken in the night

by soft moonlight breezes

and feel a gaze upon me.

I sit up straight and look around

and my gaze falls on you.

You are standing in the doorway

smiling down at me.

Aqua eyes

You're alive.

I look away, suddenly embarrassed

for you found me in such a place,

but you make your way towards me

and lay beside me

Tears run their courses down my face

You're back.

You look at me, into me, touching my soul

My pride is gone

I reach out and touch your cheek

You're real.

"You came back..."

You put your hand over mine

Our fingers intertwine

"I wasn't sure you would."

You look at me, "Why?"

I'm afraid to meet your gaze,

"You had nothing to come back for"

Then you smile

My tears are kissed away

and lean close to me

cheek to cheek

and you whisper in my ear

"I had everything to come back for."

A soft sob of joy escapes my lips.

And you smile once more.

Beautiful aqua eyes

Then you touch your lips to mine

and I melt into you...

You are the life in this planet of death.
