Spirit Lover

 

In the wind I heard him calling, in a silent silken scream...
I was awakened in the middle of the night, or was it just a dream...
The moon was cloaked in silence as I felt the cool caress
It was then that I saw his face, and felt the longing kiss...
His face was that of someone from another time another place-
I was frozen to the moment, in an everlasting embrace.
He seemed to drain the life right out of me, but I could not resist,
I tried in vain to call out to him, but only silence passed my lips....
He said he was from another life, and had been searching for so long-
that once we had been lovers-to me he had belonged...
As he wrapped herself around me, I felt my emotions rise,
and we began the conjugation, with a fire in our eyes.
On the walls the shadows melted, and two became as one-
I knew then my spirit lover was truly the only one.
Then he knelt above me and I felt a falling tear,
and he smiled a sad smile, then whispered in my ear:
"Forget me never love, for me it's time to go-
next time we're together, it will be forevermore".
Then he turned away, and I was alone again.
I wondered if it was just a dream, til I touched my cheek and felt a fallen tear.
