I dreamed a beautiful dream
Where you were lying next to me
I can still feel the warmth of the sun
Heating my skin as if it were your fingers lightly caressing
All alone tonight
in the bright
of the overhead light
Alone
surrounded by his cologne
Staying up late
wishing i didn't have to wait
for my bed mate
to arrive
alive
and strive
to make me feel
he'll
make me reel
and
make me land
into the quicksand
that is his love
above
any dove
of
skylight
starlight
out of sight
goodnight
Through the trees it waits,
silently stretching through its wake.
Winding, twisting,
snaking through.
Barren, forgotten,
It winds it's way through.
twisting, turning,
fighting its way.
leading, following,
all one way.
disappearing, reappearing,
all the way through.
choking, strangling,
living on,
fighting back,
fighting it's way through.
whole and true,
till the end,
vanishing without a trace,
lost forever,
winding and twisting it's way through.
A single tear rolls down my cheek
falls off my face
and soaks into the sheet.
Words cannot express the sorrow i feel,
the pain of a few simple words.
My cheeks are streaked
my sheets are soaked,
I lay in sorrow,
hugging myself.
With each tearful sob,
my heart clenches in pain.
My throat is closed,
my eyes shut.
I dream of you,
peace at last.
His presence still lingers,
even though he's gone.
It hovers,
like a shadow,
your unable to see.
Close your eyes,
breath in,
you can still smell him
everywhere.
He's gone for good,
you walk away,
determined never to come back.
In the end,
you return,
and
his presence still lingers,
even though he's gone.
That night,
lay on your bed,
cry yourself to sleep,
finally letting all the sorrow out,
missing him..
giving anything for him again.....
Lay there,
and
remember the warmth of his arms
the smile on his face,
right before he left
and broke your heart,
as it still does,
because
his presence still lingers
even th
sparkling water,
crashing waves.
silent thunder,
mocking silence.
quiet beach,
salty sand.
cloudy, blue sky,
shining sun.
torrents of rain,
in the silent distance.
blinding lightening,
booming thunder.
sheets of rain.
crashing waves,
white with foam.
Dark.
angry blue sea.
all is silent.
sparkling sun, blue
blue, sky
crashing waves,
sparkling clear water.
Beautiful.

Damn, it's cold.
I walk quickly
Though I'm loathe to arrive.
Snow? Oh...no.
This was stupid.
But necessary.
Necessarily stupid.
My laugh is hollow
In the darkness.
Damn, it's icy, too.
I slip and cut my hand.
Blood wells.
A welcome distraction.

VII - Kitten Purred.
hush, now,
'god' is a word
used for guitar fingers burred
and the painter's vision blurred.
our quiet love of the absurd
sleeps in windowsills, self-assured
now. did. you. want. to. learn?
'god' is just a word
for a question twice deferred
or a poem kept inside, never heard.
hush, now,
hear the flight of the bird--
it sounds like your kitten purred.
I would die for you.
And Baby, your head:
It's aching,
There's no more faking,
And I'm done taking.
It's my turn to give.
And Baby, your shoulders:
They're slumped far down,
They're waiting for hope to come right around,
They're waiting for:
Some solid ground.
It's your turn to live.
And Baby, your knees:
They're knelt on the floor
Pleading to go,
Pleading to soar,
Pleading to get up and walk out the door.
It's my turn to hug.
And Baby, your toes:
They're calloused and dry,
They're lost in your journey
Of wondering whys
Lost in your chorus
Of heart warming cries.
It's your turn to tug.
And Baby, your head:
It's falli
