Footsteps

Footsteps faintly heard
in the passage of a kiss
Silence now, leaving my
heart in loneliness
Wanting you in my arms
again
Among the warm encounters
of our needing
Here in the golden light
of a morning's wish
O how I need you
in my life's reality

Footsteps silent now
and the lingering last kiss
Remembered, etched
in my loving heart
Desiring you where
I am, always
Among the warm encounters
of our needing
Here in the golden light
of a morning's dream
O how I wait in
longing for your reality
