Lyla
echos in canyons
calling endlessly in time
lost in the ether
i screamed your name too loudly
and the avalanche has come

Lyla
three times with your name
on silent whispering lips
almost ecstasy

Lyla
Lying in my bed
Petrichor through my window
Awakened by you
 Sep 2024
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 —
