Lyla
echos in canyons
calling endlessly in time
lost in the ether
i screamed your name too loudly
and the avalanche has come
 Sep 3
Lyla
three times with your name
on silent whispering lips
almost ecstasy

Lyla
Lying in my bed
Petrichor through my window
Awakened by you

Lyla
Moonlight on my face
I cannot go back to sleep
When I think of you
Driven crazy by moonlight, or something else?

Lyla
strong coursing river
torrential wild summer storm
together, a flood

I am supposed to write you
Poetry
Examining the ache I feel and asking
Do you feel it, too? But in lovelier words,
Something befitting our growing passion

Instead I am seeking blue bubbles with a thrill in my core
Pen slack in hand, sheets threatened,
The delicate flower of inspiration choking on the weeds of modernity

And still I will you to end this waiting
Wishing to reach you as Jane did her Edward
To shake you from sleep with my thoughts
DM me, *******
The first poem written for my lover, at the advent of DMs on Bluesky. Did he finally DM me? Oh, yes...

— The End —
