When We Fall

Silver moonlight
splashing across the darkened bedroom,
guides me with breathless expectation.

Your dimly lit silouhette revealed,
I move slowly to face your haunting beauty.



The curtains shiver ever slightly,
with the soft evening breeze,
playing shawdows across your figure,
rippling like waves on a satiny shoreline.



Dead silence fills the room,
yet I feel an incessant pounding.

It is my heart.

Blood pumps furiously through my veins,
reverberating now in my ears.



A tear forms slowly,
misting my vision,
yet enhancing this moment of wonder.



Tenderly,
as not to even move a whisp of air,
I reach for your
pale
bare
shoulders.



A sudden strong gust of air lashes at the window,
my eye catches the disrupting curtain's flailing.



In a heartbeat,
you
are
Gone!



An angry crack of thunder..
rattles in mock laughter through the room,
as I bolt upright in my empty bed.



Another dream!

Another vision?

They get more vivid each time.

You become more real my love.



When we fall,

it will be,

forever!
