3 AM (LOVE)

*Sobbing on the dirty, cold floor…

… “Just hold on baby” …

… her breath in staccato bursts, pleading…

… “I’ll never leave again, please,

Pease, please, please…”

She’s been here before.*

***

In her hand, a Notebook open to a poem.
It gives her strength,
O

n these nights of pain.
She needs it badly tonight.

*

To my dearest flower

Crimson silk heart amidst thorns

You are the essence of beauty

Surrounded by pain

For the nights you took my heart

And the days you saved my soul

I give you my heart

***

Love

Two hearts

Beating as one.

A shadows end

The birth of a sun.

Never restricted

In time or space.

Can sate any hunger

With not but a taste.

If ever I’m lost

It remains true

For love is the star

That leads to you

Never in doubt

The hole in my heart

You filled with love

Right from the start

This rhyme is simple

Simple but true.

For this heart

Beats simply

For you.

… “R… R… Rose?”

"… Shhh.” …
*Tears flow forth in torrents of relief. Holding his head, whispering… *

"…Please, let me in…”

…

…

Transfixed in her beautiful eyes, he nods approval…

…She pulls his head into her chest,

So that he may hear her beautiful
h

eart beating…

… “You’re safely home in my
h

eart”…

…No other words are needed…

The look in their eyes says it all…
