I WILL WAIT

For this rock lodged above my ribs to move I will wait for the dam it holds to flow out of this dark cave that now houses my soul I will wait for this shiver in my bones to fade, This ice that formed in my veins the last time I saw you, The coldness of your hands that now lives in me I will wait for that moment when these lonely walks will be tales of a life past For the time when the embers of your soul light up my eyes again I will wait for its light to again warm this soul whose ashes have long gone cold I will wait for these lips now gone stiff to again softly weave magic I will wait, patiently walking the long shores of this place we once basked in bliss For I know you will be back, no not in this vessel where you for now set sail For then its gluttony and power will no longer hold sway I will wait not for this vessel that now holds shattered bones and charred flesh. For its will be just a memory of a lifetime long forgotten I will wait again for sunshine and roses and lilies and tearful meetings I will wait for a RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. #YOHANNA
