People watching
from the cafe window
People on their own, with lovers, wives, husbands, children, families.

Couples holding hands
Lovingly exchanging looks
People with a purpose
To get to where they need to be.

I wonder how they all feel and if they have difficulties in their lives?
We all do but what is difficult for one person is a breeze in the park for another

In the eyes of others we just exist.

Cast out on a sea of tears
Trying not to drown

I'm a rainstorm

A monsoon

A hurricane

An avalanche

An earthquake

Lava erupting from the innards of a mountain

A meteor crashing to earth
which implodes from the epicenter

spewing remnants into the void
from its wake

That dark place
where no one can reach

until your voice
out of the darkness
the eternal silence

reaches forth
stretches out and magnetises

all of the elements
left stranded

pulls them back together
into a mass

that resembles the whole
that was there before

that once existed

This new world formed

my world

new and unexplored

made of me

made of you

From inside
I know you are there

My senses
On alert

Touches lingering
My tongue traces

Remembering the outlines
of you

I smell that familiar perfume
igniting my being

Joyous sounds pierce my ears
movements of you

I struggle to control
In my heart

In my soul
I won't forget

You are with me
Everyday

One day at a time
I need to learn patience

I can't have everything just now
But when will the Now be?

Matters of the heart
Are a test of will

Of strength
I'm not sure how strong I am though
