Time Rests, Captured
Time rests, captured, embraced in a spell
Two strangers search for each other
Through corridors of time diligently seeking
Encountering interruptions
Wasting emotions, feigning love
Engaging romances with counterfeit lovers
Uttering superficial, superfluous words of
Promised love and passion
Through it all short-lived daring to dream
Their hearts bleed the lingering pain
Temporarily eased by useless entanglements
Yet, their eternal flame burns deep!
Time rests, captured, embraced in a spell
Strangers they remain throughout the years
Caught up in a time warp and
Like two ships upon high seas sailing through deep fog
Seeing but not seeing
Crossing paths intermittently
Crisscrossing through time and space and as
One reaches the appointed place… idling
The other running to somewhere, not knowing where
Lonely, bewildered, adrift, moving forward, reaching
Never knowing, never believing the compass set
Yet, their eternal flame burns deep!
Time rests, captured, embraced in a spell
Two souls weary, exhausted from endless searching
Never losing hope hidden within their hearts
Incessantly, silently praying, moving closer ever closer
As the stars align to the one moment in time
When the dream weaver’s spell is broken
Time once captured released, they meet and discover
The power of love, passion so strong
That just the thought of each other
Triggers incredible highs, flooding hearts
A smorgasbord of emotions explode
Soul mates revealed, their eternal flame burns deep!
