await

My love is violent, too hot to hold

The longing burns deep inside my chest

Like a fire up in my bones

Weary, longing for rest

With my hand laid faintly upon your heart

Beating against my ear as we lie in wait

Hoping time will create

a space for us

A pyre with the past as timber

And loves past as the embers

That rise afloat the very breath of God

Who gathered us like kindling

Perhaps you were the love of another lifetime

Whom my hearts been hard pressed to find

The very thing my soul longs for

I have it all but yet want more.

I haven’t known a love like this

I heard you before you came

Lifted my head like you called my name
