A Lady in Waiting
A Lady in Waiting
Trapped in a dragon’s lair
Bound by chains of missing you
Willing, liquid captive
Frozen core where your heat should be.
Straining…
listening for your voice
Sinews snapping at sudden shocks
A rabbit caught in the glare
Of your armour.
You write while I sleep
I write while I weep
I could but slip through these cuffs
For I am water
I flow where I will.
But I will to be here…waiting…
Willing to move solely for your kiss
Chafed again to living by your hands
The breath of being succored by your lips alone
Bring me back from whence we were
A distant memory
From the mists of Avalon
Captive then
Captive now
Buffered from life’s collisions by your promises
Waiting…
Set free by your body on mine…I wait.
