Oh how I hunger.
My desires shake me to the core.
My fingertips searching eagerly,
Blindly in the dark.
Yearning to collide
In a moment.
Tenderly they reach
Seeking
Entanglement.
Oh how I hunger.
My desires shake me to the core.
My fingertips searching eagerly,
Blindly in the dark.
Yearning to collide
In a moment.
Tenderly they reach
Seeking
Entanglement.
And now I lie naked.
Naked in the earth.
Everything I have carried
In me,
Stripped from
My heart
And
Removed from my soul.
Washed clean.
And I feel the wind.
I breathe the air.
I taste the dirt on my lips.
I am settled in my skin.
Renewed.
The time has come to
Arise and set my feet gently on the path before me.
Let this new journey
Begin.
There you stood
Looking at the clouds
Talking to yourself out loud
When you believed
No one was around.
I saw you standing there
The smile gone from your face.
Lost in a dream.
Lost in a lifetime
And space.
And my heart ached
As I recognized
Myself in you.
In all your beautiful
Words
Regarding her,
She still believes it is the
Flowers
You speak
Of.
Gypsy heart.
Soul afire.
She reaches the stars
But longs to go higher.
There is lightening in her touch
And
Thunder in her eyes.
If you choose to stay down here,
You can simply watch her.
She is not hard to identify
Dancing up there in the sky.
Just know that
You will be left waiting.
She will forget who you were if you
Do not
Join her in the company of the stars.
Paying quiet attention to the innuendo,
She feels the incorporeal.
She is a watcher.
And she waits.
Trust given too kindly has returned to haunt her.
Becoming an
Agonizing
Ache
So
Very,
Very
Deep.
So she listens.
She watches.
She waits.
Twirling,
Swirling,
Maddening thoughts
Leave me gasping
For
Air.
The clouds are in awe of the moon tonight.
And
Oh,
How they love her.
Bathed in the warmth of her
Quintessence
Night after night.
Bewildered by
How she shines so bright
In
All
Her
Silent beauty.
She stood in the doorway
With her back to the sun
Knowing this was
The last
Time
She would see him.
And her heart filled with
Sorrow
Though her soul
Was at peace.
And her eyes filled with tears.
They fell to the floor
As she stood in the door
With her back to the sun.
She had nothing left
To prove.
Nothing left to hold.
Only the truth she would carry as
She turned and walked away.
Looking forward
For the first time
She could remember
To the light of a new day.
Never again would she turn her back to the sun.
I sit at the table
In my favorite tattered pajamas.
My feet dangling from the chair.
Remnants of breakfast
Scattered on the plate before me.
Cold coffee in the bottom of my cup.
And I
Wonder,
Was it
Enough?
