A lovers waltz

The midnight wind is cold,

whipping ‘round my feet.

Head long into the night, bold.

Never to miss my lovers heart – beat. 

Pull up my collar ‘gainst the pounding.

Quicken my pace – 

Must make it to the spot – grounding. 

My blood pumps harder at the thought of that face. 

Be there.

My heart, this cannot bear.

Be there!

Waiting on the square. 

Do not give up on me. 

Be patient. 

See me.

Promise to no longer be complacent.

Here! I’m here!

My heart is beating in my ears. 

No! Couldn’t be. I have no more tears. 

Where are you? I’m here. No, not this fear. 

There! There! Through the fog, I see you. 

See me!

Lift up those eyes of blue. 

See me! Let the butterflies flee. 

See me! YES! A spark of recognition. 

Standing. Walking. Running to each other. 

Let’s love each other without condition. 

Let’s make a life work. You and me, lover. 

It is no longer cold. 

The wind and fog have lifted. 

Arm in arm. Heart to heart, we are bold.

This lovers tale, life sifted.
