Jade eyes search the dark
Flashes of light
Calling him to her door
Waiting to be brave
Ebony eyes look into the night
Flashes of fire
Calling her to the window
Waiting to breathe
Scarred hands search empty pockets
Glimpses of regrets
Calling him to the shadows
Waiting to exhale
Pale hands search empty drawers
Glimpses of hope
Calling her to the light
Waiting to be brave
Jet strands ruffled by the wind
Questions without answers
Haunting him from the shadows
Waiting for answers
Henna tresses ruffled by nervous fingers
Questions never asked
Haunting her from the dark
Waiting to be asked
Shaking fist meets wood
Prelude to the fall
Rising from his soul
Pressing for answers
Shaking fingers meet brass
Prelude to the plunge
Rising in her heart
Pressing for truths
Jade eye search ebony
"I have loved you
For half my life"
Words tumble into her space
Ebony eyes fall into jade
"But I am done
Running after you."
Words fill his mind
Scarred hands touch pale cheeks
"I am done
Chasing my fears."
Bodies drift together
Pale hands touch scarred skin
"But I loved you
Before I meet you."
Bodies melt together
Jet strands twine with henna
Whys whispered in space
Drinking in her scent
Waiting to exhale
Henna tresses tangle with ebony
Whys whispered into lips
Drinking in his strength
Waiting to breathe
Shaking fists push deeper
Dawn of desires
Starved kisses beneath a chandelier
Bodies twined together
Shaking finger pull higher
Dawn of thirsts
Starved touches beneath a chandelier
Bodies melt together
Jade eyes close to hide
Touching without seeing
Memorizing her extraordinary curves
Strokes building tension
Ebony eyes open to love
Touching without feeling
Memorizing his deep scars
Strokes building flames
Scarred hands smooth fears
Touches feed flames
Calling him to her softness
Waiting to break
Pale hands smooth jitters
Touches feed devotion
Calling to his strength
Waiting to explode
Jet strands fall forward
"I will love you
For the rest of my life"
Whispered in the shadows
Henna tresses spread out
"But I will never be done
Running after you."
Whispered in the dark
Shaking fists open slowly
"I am done
Running from my fears."
Sleepy whispers escape
Shaking fingers settle slowly
"But I'll love you
Until it is finished."
Sleepy promises fly
Jade eyes close
Scarred hands holding his future
Ebony eyes close
Pale hands holding her forever
Jet strands settle into henna
Shaking fists pull covers tight
Henna tresses twine into jet
Shaking fingers rest on cooling skin
Jades eyes dream
Scarred hands hold tight
"I have loved you
For half my life …"
Ebony eyes imagine
Restless fingers hold fast
"But I am done
Running after you …"
