"Lonely is something I am accustom to, not something I desire to be, but have learned to accept." -the wolf

In the way
Only the wolf can
Soft cries
I bared my soul
Shed tears
Whispered dreams
Fed fears
To the black widow
Of cold night
Lifetimes
Of alone
Rolled into
A half smile
Of hope
A sliver
Of moon
Perhaps
One day
Soon
The rooster
Will crow a tune
Of love
Ill wake up
From this nightmare
Of hollow
Bones
No longer vacant
Of wamrth
But curiously
Touched
By the fingers
Of a wanderer
Who saw it fit
To curl breath
between
The spaces
To make my empty
A home

Musa Nov 2020
Do you reminisce on those days?
Where I would drag my self between your stripes,
With warm hands and arms longer as love,
You would let me curly my self around them.

With only symphonies of my cry,
You would mouthful say," weep on my stripes,
For they are the colour of your tears",
Did you really love me that much?

You never judged me,neither question me,
You would always let me compose my raging terror within your warmth,
Enveloping me with wamrth, how did you do it?
Its like you knew all my troubles,but still chose to embrace me.

I would bury my self within you all day long,you never complained,
You carried me even if the other leg of your shape had been amputed by my size,still you carried me, I would threw my self onto you.
Why were you so kind to me?

Leave you unmade for hours, waking up from the call of insomnia,
I would heavy you with my worries, speak my anger out as I tap you from your tranquility,
My bed,my beautiful bed, did you ever get tired of me?

I still crave for those long nights of awakening,
That untiredness you had,
Its a pity when long friends depart
Do you promise me not to forget about me?

I had inscribed the mementos we had on the walls of my chest,
Buried the stories of  our years on this lips,for they shall retell your kindness and mercy on me,
What had I done to deserve your love? You loved me dearly and deeply.

As I burn you to your age, would you take some memories with you?
May this remains of your ashes remind me of your kindness,
May they remind me of how loyal you had been to me,
May this ashes of your flesh,be a permanent constant concrete reminder.
