There’s a
dark casting in my heart that leaves me lost
Each time I
watch the last of your shadow fall, take a walk from me
It’s like
you’ve been gone, but you remained to taunt me further
Reminding me
that, you’re here, yet there.
There, that
place I could never reach you, that far space where my thought travel
To visit
you, hoping that you would recognize this shape you once knew
But, I could
never reach you there.
There’s a
dim light that dances in my eyes, when I see you show up
When the
distance between us, isn’t measured by the last dreams
And the
future wish, but, by the now acts, winning ovation from the pushers
You here,
bringing a flicker of hope, with the almost, nearly and closely brush
From your
presence, gifted me in your smile.
There’s a
song in my mouth, I’m still learning to tune
From
melodies, conjure through your heart beat, thumped from the rhythm only you
make,
One clap
here, a sound there, mixed from your goings and returns that leaves me lost for
lyrics
To make the
gyration last. Yet, when this dirge surfaces, you turn it into a loud cymbal
Tuned for
you and I only, to dance and waltz, less I trip on this floor.
There’s a
want, only you can meet, as much as I yearn to fill this void,
Left sunken from
your exit, a hole left desolate, bereft of your touch, smell, smile or kiss.
And my daily
dream has been, that I may know your breath again, learn the scent of you
afresh
To pervade
this depth lost and shrunk in endless want, yearning for you to see me.
Through the
times, we’ve both shared, hoping the longing is mutual in our hearts.
There’s a
place and time only you and I can live, only us can feel, only our hearts can
tell.
