Follow me...

Allow me
… to know
You are here…

If,… only for awhile;

Today, darker than most
And you,
… you are my candle;

I need… to feel
Your smile,
… your voice,

Your song;
Soothes…

And, now…
The scent
… of warm falling rain

Begins…

Heartbeats

Echoes
… in the dark;

Is it now?
Or…
What use to be.

Memories;
… dreams?

Time…
Like legend;
Quite trite

… to what is no more.

I hear a sweet little red robin,
And she sings a happy tune.

I see a strong proud hoot owl,
And she flies high in the glow of the moon.

I see a nesting white snow dove,
And she is priming her soft feathery breast.

I see the old grey alley cat,
And she's put them all to rest.

I think
Of you
I feel feelings,
Feelings,
I forgot, I knew.

I need
You to be
My oasis.
But I fear…
You are only
… A mirage.

Desolate sands.
Deserted shores.
I am…
parched
And starved
To my very core.

Anticipation begins
Fear
Just gives in

If…
An oasis
You be…

A mirage
A mirage is all I can see
If only,…
If only I could reach…

Drenching
Moonlight;
Water’s edge;
Water
Sand
… meet;

Silhouette
... leads
Nowhere;
Sweet kisses
Bask
... at my feet.

Essence
… is adrift
Here;
Time,
Time without you;
I fear.

Gentle touch
Beyond…dark, dark waves
Envelop me, my dear.
Pull me… to you
I am drowning;
My heart … is on a third descent.

Envelop me
...old dark black sea;
This is not how my love
... is meant.

Sun rise
Stands…
Motionless.

Clouds…
Hesitant.

A moment…
Begins.

Will it…
Be innocent?
Time,… does not know.

Small hands
Fragments;
Pigeons… coo.
A new day
Dawns…
Mornings dew.

A moment
… begins.
Time,…
Does not know.
