Graveyard Angel

I always wake to find you there:

a wisp of memory,

soft as a palm pressed to my cheek.

Your eyes: two celestial reflections,

polished in glistening moonlight,

hold me in their solemn gaze.

As our breaths mix and mingle,

weaving a delicate lace

in the crisp night air.

The white, drifting snow settles,

undisturbed on your furrowed brow -

fingers failing to smooth those chiseled lines.

And your rich, dark hair - flecked with white -

lies neatly against your face

as the mulish wind continues to blow.

You never speak my name,

though you still comfort me,

like my own graveyard angel.
