Will She Come? Poem by Liam Dudgeon

The darkness is engulfing,
Silence is condemning,
Sliver of light accusing.
And my heart proclaiming justice.

My sins many,
As many as the stars.
Great sins,
Greater than the stars.

I have committed,
The deadly sins,
The cardinal sins.
Disobeyed my mind.

Luxuria, Gula,
Avaritia, Acedia,
Ira, Invidia,
And Superbia.

Summer lust,
Spring passion,
Autumn love,
Winter heartbreak.

Why did
I love her so?
Why did I?
When in my heart I know.

It was just,
A bounce back.
Some sick vendetta.
Designed to break his heart.

Could this be real?
Could my head be lying?
Should I think with my head?
Or let my heart roam free?

It makes no sense.
Like white rock dreams.
Pounding in my head.
Only in my heart,

I love her.
She says she loves me.
My heart skips a beat,
I believe her.

I'm flying to the sky.
Soaring beyond the stars.
Waiting for her.
Will she come?

Come to share true loves,
True embrace.
I hope so.
This dream is so vivid.

She's torn through,
The walls,
Of the bunker,
Hiding my heart.

Shielding my heart.
I haven't felt this way.
In so very long.
She has my heart forever.

But will she come?
Come beyond Orion's belt?
Share a kiss,
That lasts till morn?

When our bodies,
Call our souls back to Earth.
Will she come?
Of course she will.

And she does.
I open my heart to her.
She shares her being.
And I share mine.

She does love me.
Heart racing,
Pulse pounding,
Blood pulsing.

I feel so alive.
We share our embrace,
And true love's,
Wonderful kiss.

Flying back to Earth,
Until the next night,
Until the next dream.
I shall wait for her.
