Scribbles from the Heart #6

Nights
By their lake's side.
Moonlight on dancing waves.
Cool breezes stir nights,
Soft caresses on cheeks
Twirling hair strands past.
Beautiful promises in whispers.

In darkness,
Two hearts wander.
One lost.
One yearns.
Time, tick-tock,
Two realms.

Dwelling in his presence,
Reminiscing alone.
Wavering, illuminating, at horizon
A mirage.
In prayer she sits,
His name on tendered lips.

Nights
By their lake's side.
Moonlight on stilled waves.
Pink blossom petals withered,
Drifting to silent rests.
Colors fade, seasons change.
Silent songs in passing.

In long nights,
Their lake awaits.
No hearts yearn.
No souls wait.
Time is lost
By lake's side.
