And I have missed the
Motion of your
Breath -
Tracing hours of the night
Long against my chest.
In some ways the dark is full of
Expectations….I rise with
Every wind and fall
Again into the
Night - your absence laid thick on the
Fabric of my senses.
Daybreak is far…and yet the ache of
Wind and night is all I have -
I savor every moment, every rise and
Every fall.
The night is so full of expectations.

as always a pleasure to read ( I have decided to not have any expectations, therefore I cannot be so disappointed)

I enjoy your romantic poems, Eric because they are not just a release for your emotions but very fine poetry as well.

If you truly missed the motion of his breath, you will truly be in love and chase him days and nights to get all the pre-thought expectation
