Cold tendrils embraced
my every waking
They left icicle imprints
on an already overindulged
slightly taxed piece of me.

My soul cried repetitiously
wanton wishes
Today I wiped away saddened
heartbreaking melancholy.

I shall not ponder
the unattainable answers
that toss me into soul-searching
dialogue

(There are no simple ones)

I shall plunge forward
into warmth and love
No self destruction mechanisms -
allowed.

I will close my eyes
taste your lips
feel the tautness of skin.
Inhale your scent
Breathe in your breath.
Lie half awake in it’s intoxication.
Then I shall realize,
I was never awake.

The need was you -
Is YOU.
Until you are here
lying next to me
I shall hold this precious
memory.

This was a moment
captured in my dreams
YOU already know
the “need.”

I shall not ponder the unatainable answers". And yet you do, as do I. Would that we could find them.
Yes, I relate to that poem most personally. Very beautifully presented.

Septsong.. Thank you for grasping the depth in this piece..
It certainly is soul searching to say the least.. and the feelings rushing forth faster then my mind can often handle.

Lovely "dream" that, upon waking leaves you yearning.  Beautiful and heartfelt.
