In Between

In between the moments

.
.

In between the moments
when the second hand will rest,
your world will stop its spinning
so that time may take a breath.

As the dragon's wings stop pumping
the air from underneath,
it glides amongst the skyline
to find the landing which it seeks.

A butterfly will light
upon a single garden rose
and in the stillness beckon thee
as its wings dance to and fro.

In between the heartbeats,
the rhythm of your chest
will rise and fall in harmony,
making love a perfect test.

In dreams, I feel your warmth at night,
trace the outline of your smile,
I may never touch your supple lips,
your heart is more my style.

Fate's a patient leopard
love, a gentle breeze
life is just a lock we hold,
our hopes, the final key.

In between the teardrops,
when your world seems torn apart,
just close your eyes and think of me
I’ll be the warm place in your heart. ….
