Living
 
As the sunlight peeks over the horizon,
My melancholy mood strives to cling
more tightly to my soul;
To press back the warmth of that divine orb...
to once again leave my heart cold, dead and barren.
 
I stare longingly at the glistening rays.
Oh, to feel the comfort of them
upon my countenance once again!

Dare I break the yoke of my inauspicious ways?
Dare I grip my courage with both hands?
Do I choose to, once again, walk the path of the living?
Or, do I remain in the grey-scale of shadow?

Pondering these things,
my heart races as I raise my foot
to step into the light...
My body shudders in pleasure
as the first rays bathe my skin.

Reprieve

-
Acutely longing for the quiet mind  your presence gifts me with. My thoughts a pain-inducing  jumble of string with no end to begin untangling them.  Your calmness grounds my soul  and gives it purpose and guidance, As the moon rescues the tides from chaos and disharmony. Your presence a balm to my forlorn and weary soul, So tired of trying to find its way  through this heartless, labyrinth of a world.  Craving your embrace, And the restful reprieve that Only your arms offer me.  Needing the protection of your strength I am so desperately tired,  Closing my eyes in defeat   and longing to hear your whispered words, You are safe, my baby girl. Sleep.

Flittering Passing fancy, Fluttering whim. Jaunting in this window of my mind and flitting back out again. I entertain your existence but a moment... before my musing laughter sends you scattering to the winds. I smile wistfully. hoping our paths will cross again.

Midnight Vigil

Waking in the night,  As I do so often.  Staring into the inky darkness And missing the soft blue of your eyes. I quietly replay our every interaction on a loop in my mind. Closing my eyes, I reach out across our tether... As I have done countless times. When my eyes open,  My gaze alights on your sleeping form.  Stretched out on your side, The moonlight gilding your gorgeous chest and sweet face relaxed in slumber. Smiling softly at the snores rumbling in the air As I settle quietly on the floor next to you.  Reaching out, I stroke your cheek knowing you cannot feel me. I treasure these moments I spend near your side, Surrounded by your scent.  I feel the pull of my body and know sunrise is near... I must go. Closing my eyes as I lean forward and breathe you in, Whispering “I love you”, As I softly kiss you goodbye, My eyes reopen to the graying light of sunrise in my room.
