Love Echoes

I feel my fingers melting

as you step out of my skin.

The mist of time

quells the spirits

speaking to my soul

through locked doors

and dusty shelves.

My heart weeps

in still of evening,

blank pages stare

back at me.

Silence decays

as I whisper your name

in roaring words

but our time has

blown away

on wings of a dove.

Heavy lids and

burdened heart

drawn on wet canvas

pages keep turning

as sun drowns

in my sea.
