A small, warm hand wraps slowly
about the bat pendent which adorns
her soft neck, resting above the
warmer flesh of her breasts,
thumb tracing the curve of the wings
like her heart, eternally set upon his
and immortalized in silver.

Staring down into the deep red
oval held so tenderly between the bat's
heart-shaped wings, she loses herself
to thoughts and wishes and dreams
of his arms wrapping around her,
warm unlike those cool metal wings,
but just as sincere and eternal.

Eyes fluttering closed, lashes resting
against her lightly flushed cheeks,
her mind drifts to where her heart desires
to run, belonging in his arms, her head
resting upon his chest and listening
to that one heartbeat which works
so vigorously for her, and her alone.

Playing her fingers up along the chain
that held her present secure in its place,
she sighed dreamily and felt the strong
heartstrings that entwined their souls
across all those miles of distance,
wishing only to be near him and in his
warm embrace, but knowing she must wait.

She must wait for the time when they could
live together in love and bliss, always a
comfort to one another through the emotional
ups of spring, to the seasonal depression that
comes with the winter, together they would
forever find that peace they both longed for
and the dreams for which they both strive.

A future together with many exciting excursions,
traveling far and wide in search of adventure,
each other's hearts forever truly existing as
one another's comfort zone, with their loving
arms and legs entwined in warmth they would
forever be home, eventually settling down
somewhere, raising a family someday.

Dreaming of their house one day, a garden of
roses, tiger lilies, marigolds and irises, large
willow trees and enough grape vines to serve
as a small vinyard, one lemon tree, oranges and
plums and so many more things growing outside,
as their life becomes only, ever more enriched
with the growth of children's laughter within.

Full moons and cherry blossoms in the spring,
Warm days and cool nights, relaxing together
for all their lives, dreaming of their eternity, growing
older together, their love a true love that could never be
torn apart, a pair made for one another, like a soul
divided and found, together they were complete and
happiness would forever ensue their infinite devotion.
