Love Poem: Broken Melody

Broken Melody

it's the midnight hour
as i watch the rise and fall
of your breath blend
in peerless harmony
within the cicada's song

i twirl along
in secluded mind
where thoughts fall
faded like shadows
beneath moon's lambent light

remembrance comes
in winded breaths
as i recall
the camber of your body
pressed against mine
in the soft melodies 
of nighttide 

the endless tempo
with bated breaths
in stepless dances
between young lovers

the smile
with the glow
of a thousand stars
gleaming back
in brilliance
now paling
in fragmented
flickers 
of clouded mind

the chirr of bed
as you shift
closer to the edge
leaves me wondering
is this love enough
to keep me grounded
in the distance
laid between us
