Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday has brought us today
and alters none of what I say.
The feelings remain the same
of that there is no shame
and only hope that you see in me
the one you would have me be.

There, in an embrace we stood
and time took a breath if it could
with only a cloth between the flesh
briefly to allow our spirits enmesh.

Your warmth and softness was felt.
and even on parting it did not melt,
but lingered the day, through the night
hopeful from a mystery comes the light
that shows a path for both to find
of an inner peace, solace of mind.
