Beyond the Windows of My Night


Outside my window
the night sky filling up with stars,
the moon disappearing on this eve,
drifting, I hear the loneliness echoing
in the expanse of the night.

I feel no comfort
from the covering of the dark.
To be together even when apart
is my desire.
To hear the music of your voice
is my want.
To feel your every movement
is my passion.
To see your eyes resting upon mine
is my delight.
To feel your gaze through your touch
is my fire.

You have entered my heart
through these eyes, haunting me,
catching me offguard,
many nights, in pillowed hold,
unaware of the hidden longings within.
You have woven my thoughts with yours,
over and under, entwining,
embracing every fiber of me,
above and beyond,
never to sleep
without the want of you.

As the stillness of the night settles in
I am caught up in the pleasure of these thoughts.
Of moments...
lying there, in the warmth of your arms,
my eyes watching as you sleep,
closing mine to dream...there...
beyond the windows of my night.

Wynter....It is so difficult to capture the intimate. That's why I stick to ships. Very well done.  Bob

I'm not Bob, but you have done so superbly, and totally tastefully.  Intimate, but behind the appropriate folds of a curtain that we as observers will not in any way violate the intimacy.  This is a very tender, delicate write and a pleasure to read.  It's almost a caressing experience.

You really captured the essence of 'want' here. Desire and need are interwoven as always, and you captured it all poetically perfect.

I spend lots of my free time thinking of someone special...never wanting to be away...and enjoying every second together...perhaps I appreciate her
so much because we rarely spend time together...James

hey friend, these kinds of thoughts could get you in trouble (we wish huh?) I love it.
