She Waits

She waits alone in the shadows to hear her name whispered softly
Come to me, be my beloved, you are my world the whispers say
Enticing, inviting, she gracefully moves to the tune
The whispers move her, they thrill her, she listens…
You are the world to me my beloved, and this is our world,
Alone with each other away from prying eyes I come to you
We become one and the outside world melts leaving us to be together at last
She listens to the promises, she rejoices at the imagery…
This is my reality she thinks, you are my love, you are my world she whispers
They laugh, they talk, they sigh, they dream, they touch and love one another
The shadows engulf them, hide them, protect them…
Our world, away from prying eyes and vicious hearts, this is where she lives
She longs to proclaim her joy, shouting from on high, and dancing with abandon
Showing the outside world her happiness and smiling for all to see and admire
I am in love and I am loved and the world is a wonderful place,
This is what others will see as they gaze upon her….
But it is not to be….
She waits alone in the shadows once more ….
To hear her name….
Whispered softly…
