Incoherent, disconnected
A piece of me has fallen through
Falling, drifting often weightless
Until the time when I see you

If I expand one more time
From the void that is my heart
Heaving streaks and trailing dust
You just may shatter me apart

If I put my arms around you
Would you catch my fallen pieces
In the void, you'd hear me screaming
In the grip of love, releases

Nakedness and disillusion
When I fall from dreams I fear
Enter in and cause confusion
That I'd feel that you are dear

On the cusp of fleeting moment
A piece of me has fallen through
I hear the words and fall to sleep
The cliff I near, reads: "I love you."

Hey Walt, "This is colossal!"  You are so vivid and graphic in your strength of poetry and enjoy it more than you can phathom.  These, truly, my best buddy-friend, are LYRICS
Can you hear them, 'cause eye can.

goto sleep and wakeup,

my god....

"If I expand one more time
From the void that is my heart
Heaving streaks and trailing dust
You just may shatter me apart"

it's awesome.... the distance and longing expressed in lyrical phrasing.... clearly from the soul of you......

an awesome write which tears me up......

distance and longing can be beautifully painful

Beautiful, Walt. I love seeing you in so many ways lately. Truly, your writing is wonderful.

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.
