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.

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.

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."

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.
