After All Poem by Safina Leigh Tamerlaine

Is this it, after all?
Is this my fairytale
Which I’ve dreamed of for long?
Are you the knight I’ve searched for
Shining here under the moonlight
Your eyes holding mine in thrall
My hands yearning to hold yours.
Is this the climax of all my hopes?
Are you my treasure?
Hardly daring to breathe or hope
Hardly daring to speak
Lest I shatter the moment
Lest it all dissolve into the night
Are you the one I have been seeking?
Are you the key to all my dreams?
Hold me, whisper the answer
Into my listening ear.
Breathe your reply softly into me
And I will breathe it in,
Whether it is real or not.
Are you a mirage to my thirsty soul?
Or a true oasis in my desert heart?
Does this night hold all the answers
Does this moment meet all desires
Do we have at our fingertips the whole
Of the universe?
Is this it, after all?
Is this it, after all?
Is this it, after all?
Is it you?
