she feels a warmth upon her back
along the silver fading spine
and there is where his hand is placed
traces slowly up the soft line
moonlight tickles their darkening skin
fills the room with secret ghosts
he draws his arms around her
and then he draws her close
his voice in a soft whisper
his kisses on her skin
she wishes she could open her heart
just to let him see within
in the middle of the darkened room
love and sleep fill their spirits
two sets of arms forever entwined
two hearts as one and she can hear it
to the world outside - one silhouette
to God above - one soul
to fate - a happy ending
to these two hearts - a reachable goal
she hopes that he can take her there
a dream that has begun
love transcends the darkness
and they are joined as one
