Don't Tarry, My Love

by Alisa Js

will you wait for me like you promised?
can I depend on your love, exclusively?
if I build on the foundation of all we know
will you be there
when that day arrives
for us?

or is this just a dream
and we are doomed,
to meet here in the mind
is this where I'll find you
trapped in my memories
forever young,
you and me ...

do we dare step into the daylight?
step out from the shadows
where we seem to be,
just out of sight
tho' not completely ...

I see glimpses of you
then you're gone,
will these arms ever hold you?
will this heart finally be free
to love you forever,
out of these shadows
and here in my world,
with me?

it's winter time here
deep in my soul,
and I'm shivering without you
as I walk all alone
on these barren streets
leading to nowhere ...

I want to experience the wonder again
feel the fire and flame like before,
don't tarry my love, too much longer
I am famished,
come to me quickly
before I disappear
into this madness
of a world without love ...

stumbling around
trying to find you,
to hear you calling
and show me the way
to that doorstep that leads to our nirvana,
I am weak from exhaustion
I need you,
how much longer
my love ...

Wonderfully expressed, beautifully written.

Another great write, the double meaning created by the comma in the title draws you in.
