Long Into Night by: me

Long into night
You lie there still,
Safe in my arms
For it is your will.

You take my love,
You take my all,
And make it hard
To break the fall.

A flame, a flicker,
The candle burns.
Deep into night,
I still haven't learned.

You come, you stay,
You say hello.
Caress the night,
And then you go.

Long into night
And straight into day,
I wish there could be
Another way.


Author's Note - As you can tell, the name of my blog was actually taken from the title of this poem...clever, huh?. This poem was written sometime in the summer of 1992.
