Safe Haven

-
It's disarming how the 
Absence of your presence,
Alters the very atmosphere 
Of the world around me.
The vivacity of the colors
Seem quiet and subdued,
As though they know
My personal sunshine is away.
The smell of the air, zestless,
Without the rich notes of your scent permeating it.
Nature's sounds are muted and hollow, 
Because the rhythm of your heartbeat
Gives them their beauty.
The words around me
Mean nothing because, 
without you near, 
Nothing makes sense.
Every brush of my skin against something,
Causing me to shy away.
The only thing my body can stand now,
Is your touch.
My soul restlessly pacing,
Trying vainly to watch over you
Through our tether, 
Needing you safely close again.
My thoughts run overwhelmingly rampant
Through my mind,
Only quieting when you are here...
You are my calm...
Your arms, my safe haven...
My face pressed against your heart...

Is Home.

Chastised

-
Feeling your arms wrap around me. Making the choice to steal a few selfish seconds for myself To forget about everything but the feel of you surrounding me. Ensconced in the dream that I am finally yours. Truly living the life I ache for, if only for a moment. Experiencing a quiet bout of euphoria. The feeling of elation slowly dying as  I am faced with unequivocal proof  That I am not yours.  Remembering why I do not allow myself to truly get lost in your arms. My mind whispering that I knew better. That I knew, to let go was to hurt. My heart quiets to a slow, lethargic rhythm,  Thoroughly chastised until the next time.

Idle Comfort

-
Daydreaming lazily... Idly caressing your skin Soft, slumberous kisses As we drift along the fringes of sleep.  Your rumbling voice talking quietly  And the softness of your chest hair tickling my cheek Threading my fingers through Yours... Feeling the capable strength of your hands... Yet knowing how gently you handle my fragile soul.. A quiet pride for the  Amazing man that you are lingers in my mind. Smiling gently up at you As your words drift off to nothing... Cuddling my sleeping angel closer.  My own heaven on Earth.

Fateful Heart

-
Fateful Heart   What cruel trick is this.. to love and not receive? To reach for and never touch? Fate wields her spiteful power with an uncaring flick of wrist; and goes about her duty with nary a backward glance. "What of me?", I cry! "Is my pain unworthy of your notice?" "Does my heart's blood upon the floor not garner your attention?" Yet she strolls on, ever the cruel mistress.  I languish here in agony, bereft and alone... Until life wanders past and admonishes, "Come, you must journey on."
