~ A lover's call ~

Destiny softly sang,

The tunes of fate,

As two bonds,

Meet and entwine.



My heart danced,

To the soft mellows,

Of the now calming rain,

My eyes drifted,

To the standing stranger,

Not believing,

When the familiar,

Whispers of my lover,

Caressed my senses.

Confusion ceased,

My aroused knowing,

And panic settled,

In my stomach,

As stories of horror,

Ran through my mind.



Cold and afraid,

Another faint murmur,

Pass by me,

And it easily melted,

The ice that paralyzed,

My body before.



The sound of rain,

Tickles my awareness,

And before my mind processed,

My body reacted,

It ran down the stairs,

And wrenched the door open.

A complete opposite,

To the light and hesitant steps,

I took approaching the man,

Before me.



Water covered me,

But I was too caught,

In his eyes,

And as recognition alighted,

I embraced him,

For the long wait,

He had caused,

For the agonizing moments,

He had inflicted,

And for the sweet assurance,

Of his loving gaze.
