As night befalls, darkness embrace
Coveting warmth and hope
Upclose I see a face
In sadness a tear fails to cope
Another separation, gone without a trace
Shadows of an arm soothing to envelope
Beating heartbeats in a leaping race
Entwining passion in a silken rope
Soft and gentle as the touch of lace
Sweet togetherness dancing in a periscope
Breathing a promise of an evening solace
