The where he is not
roars inside my soul

air around my eyes
hides like a frightened rabbit
listening quietly

each heart beat
thumps louder
and I tremble, with want;

morning light tiptoes carefully
fearful of being caught up
in this beautiful desire

wanting him near

near enough to touch,
to hold,

to ease this ache
of alone

to capture his sweet breath
in soft whispers
of hello

early shadows slide past quickly
gazing at the need
avoiding
and yet

delivering the message loudly

he is not here

It is where he is not
that roars inside of my soul.

Writing with Kate is like getting a wrapped present,
not ever knowing what exactly your going to get but always,

always....knowing that it is going to be something so
very special.  

Thank you, Kate.

Yes, writing with Kate, The Lady, and Donna, The Gentle, is a most remarkable experience.  I cannot thank you ladies enough for putting these words into space.

   Gentle Spirit Donna.... Milady Kate... Such lovely write strikes the sentiment of many a 'star crossed' lover... and provokes much feeling and emotion close to the heart.

Know that the roar flows through your soul and echoes to the other half that makes it whole. The want… desire… the need is no less consuming on the other side of your soul.

Morning light may erupt from a dream of shadows beneath the moon, to an emptiness filled only with shadows of the mind that dart to and fro in search of Beloved thoughts and visions to enable passage through the day. Early shadows slide past with every closing eye and sigh that envelope the star-crossed with a hope and dream that soothes.

Yet, at every turn, the realization of such chasm between empty arms reminds and encourages the retreat to the dreams, thoughts and memories in order to dry the tears and bring the smiles across the miles.

   Believe me… I know this to be true.

    Thank you for sharing such a beautifl piece.

You write as a beautiful one - and leave me wanting more.  There is an ease in the flow of words, which gives me the space to feel the emotion and allows your poem to reach inside me.
