Wait for me after the fires become embers 

scattered over the hearth, 

I'm the heat patiently emanating 

between and from within each one.

Waiting to be the warm blanket over your glowing skin 

and inside the relaxing coils of your tired muscles, 

the fragile marrow filling your bones.

I think I was made to wait for you, 

that every word and touch I've gleaned the many 

subtleties of from others have been carving 

a delicate trail for many years until intersecting with yours.

Because I already knew myself well before we met

but this self existed in a barely tangible form, 

carrying around the ghosts of other loves 

like a dimming lantern keeping me alive 

but never stopping the swelling dark 

from encircling my heart

As I wait for you, 

for your soft hands to meet my face 

and cover me as naturally as

a river's current constantly flows 

over the old earth and stones beneath, 

for my name to course through your every vein and synapse, 

an unchanging song your lips hum as you

Wait for me, I think you were meant to, 

that every time another's lie or cold blade 

of jealousy shattered your heart, 

you took the remnants and wove them into thin 

strands stretching through the world as

invisible livewires binding themselves to me

And everything you became was a gentle pluck on each one, 

the ripples along them traveling and turning into 

unique chords that would one day bring me to you.

Wait for me and note each change in the air now at night, 

the way the moon glows brighter along the sheets 

where you reach for me in your sleep, 

I'm the shift in the color of leaves that will soon 

fall and cover every home, 

and there will soon be a night where my hands 

meet your face and we cover each other as naturally 

as the darkness we undo from both of our hearts.
