Our hearts throbbed, <br />Eyes were open, <br />Each night around the same time, shes there, <br />Like a glimmer in the light, <br />Her voice lulls the shadows to sleep in the still of the night, <br />Her hands remain still, <br />Although lost in a dream, <br />Her voice sheds so much light, <br />We fell down the stairs of conversation, <br />Although no pain was felt, <br />We laughed, we cried, <br />An invisible seal of the lips each time our voices grew quiet, <br />Thoughts rained down as tension grew, <br />What look presented itself in each others eye, <br />At that very moment, <br />The throbs that slightly shook our veins, became more like quakes, <br />The chills of anticipation that grew with the end of each laugh, became more tense, <br />Leaping further into the furnance that ignited soon as her whisper quivered at the gentle thought of tomorrow, <br />Shaken was the air that swept through our lungs, <br />As vividly, <br />We belonged to ourselves as the rest of the world remained sleep<br /><br />Kewayne Wadley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/while-the-world-is-asleep/
