Here I am aching when I should be sleeping. The touch of your hand brushing wind tousled strands from my unnerved face is now the gentle addiction I seem to face alone. I'm dreaming in the color of violence again and without your breath wrapped around my dreams I am tripping and the predators are circling me intent on having my mind for desert. Here I am sleeping without you. I am lost in dreams that dine on my anxieties. This poetry is a threadbare shawl of comfort in comparison to the thick velvet of your arms and the calm whisper of your honest eyes. I love you and I don't care who sees it. ~~I Love You~~ |

Wow. Talk about spilling emotionally all over this page. You always get right down into the innermost part of the heart. |

Drown not in sleep, but rather, wake, and find your voice. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
