Loving Arms

I lay awake at night
sharing my bed
with too much thinking
across creased clean cotton
never knowing one wrinkle
where are the loving arms
or do I expect too much
from others who see the cut
too deep to ever heal
but, I am here
bored, sad and disappointed
reaching for something
that is never going to touch me

...and I in darkness lay
reaching through dream glossed waves,
along the moonbeams through the window
where you lay. . .
See me,
See Me...are the words I send your way.


Loved your words, my friend.
