i linger

By shalahs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Somewhere in that zone between What seems and my dreams Scenes of you flicker past my lids These like the eyes of a kid A child, a novice to these dealings Stealing lessons of maturity Thru attempts to taint purity But to no avail My veil maintained by spirit guides Though stained it still hides Shields that which lies protected beneath My silken sheath woven by divine hands But one day you will stand before me As though you understand what I need Raise my cloak and immediately Create a nest gently Within your chest house my soul While you control outward defense Inside I will commence to nourish your spirit With the warmth of love Then you will feel it Written April 1st, 2001 © on Nov 04 2001 10:13 AM PST   18 • 0 • 8
