Love Taken

If I could wish upon a morning star

would I tell wind your name

or could I think another

heart

still waits

untold

unheard

under a jasmine gate

I never dared to open

and yet

I feel the bell

still rings

calling one time too many

too quiet

in dark hours

not silent

as I thought.

***

Love rings louder in crowds

an ocean of each other's dreams

what I hoped to fulfill

torn

once again

what was close to my soul

turned into strangers waving

in the dark.

***

Do I still walk in fog

can I hold sunshine

in my arms

are you close

or gone over bridge

where steps can't reach the clouds

you wove between your heart

and mine?

***

Come watch the sun rays

playing hide and seek

tear walls away from heart,

let amber light

touch windows,

look at me smiling,

and believe

I know

what you have felt

I carry you in soul

I pray in spirit

one heart woven

in underwater dream.
