Whispers

 


From a darkness within love's light,
in passion's coded whispers,
a heart spoke.

Heated words adrift in empty space,
fallen cold to time hardened earth,
unheard.

Scattered in the acrid dust,
trodden with battered hope,
lying, dying alone.

Until fate-drawn grace,
discerned desire's muffled pleas,
and craved me.

And with burning promise,
now cradled in my lover's arms,
saved me.
