I have been waiting for you around the Edges of my heart, where you lurk in The underbrush and the shadows; still Too lost in the rest of the world to know To navigate back home.
I have been waiting for you in the Pause at the end of every sentence, the hitch of every breath, and Within the depths of my waking lids- Explosive starlight ablaze in my minds Eye.
And I have been waiting- Patience my sedative- For the hand that fits over Mine and warms the chronic Chill.
You have waited too; I can tell because In your sleep I am always awake and Pacing-I know you are restless And need someone to kiss your crown To remind you that not all kings have Castles.
But they have riches-- my soul can promise you that.
