Lullaby
 Nov 2012 Olivia Lane
Anon C
What so ardently sings me to sleep
Crisp wind whispering in my ear
Eyes peering across a lustrous, green mesa
I am not here, nor have I been
Although I dream it is so
Lover's hand in mine
Sun setting, her colors so incandescent
Ocean exhaling upon the rocky shore
Two hundred feet below
Nothing consoling my mind so much
As this cherished moment
Connected with the Earth's beauty
Alongside the one who makes it so
The voices pierce my thoughts like lightening bolts
Filling what could be silence or ideas
Loneliness and need leave holes in my psyche
Though I'm alone, I'm still beside myself
My few friends are "acquaintencess"
Though I do love them dearly
The Spirit of God is so abiding
It makes me wake early
Eager to misister to the souls in hiding.
I love to wear your arms around my neck
and
your legs around my waist...

I love to wear your open mouth upon my lips
and
your scent all over me...

I love to wear your body close to mine
but most of all
I love to wear the smile you gave me.

The voice
No reason
No way to explain
Simply words
said by one in all
I am here
Writing for you
This poem
In free verse form

Thinking of what could be
Knowing no other way
Just sitting here writhing this free verse for you
just because it came to me
No reason
No rhythm
No rhyme
There is not Similes
No metaphors
Just a poem I wrote for you

To tell you I think about you.

The voice
I am lost
I began to walk on the road
I kept walking
I was just looking down
I did not notice the path I took
And now I am lost.

I can't find the light
God please help me
I know you are there
You always are
I know you will find me
I know how pure you love is
I know you will lead me

I am lost,
I can see any more of the light
But far or close in distance
I know you are walking looking at me
Helping me
and guiding me to a better place.
I wrestle with content
I lay with uneasiness
Where to find the truth
Is questionable at best

Is it in the shadows I see out of the corner of my eye?
Teasing me, meandering between their realm and mine
Telling me nothing but so much more
Dark, but purposeful and reaching

Or is it in the thoughts that run marathons through my mind?
No particular subject or theme
Yet scattered with meanings
Hinting to be stitched together

Or is it in the curve of a chest? (that makes me so digress…)
Soft and strong with sunlight inching in
I’m sinking…
          drifting…
              charging
Bone structures say so much

Hovering with no purpose…freedom
Yet craving to be tethered
To be dutiful or uninhibited?
For now I flirt with restlessness
