like scattered clouds that fall
into horizon's abyss
so are my thoughts of you

my feelings for you race
over the waterfalls
to be tossed and turned
and end up in deep cold
darkness

night tears trace the contours
of my cheek, dripping
only to evaporate with the
morning sun

dawn inspires hope again
that today will be ours
dusk is the lamp shade
to another lonely night
