BEYOND MIDNIGHT With only a fantasy in stead for your presence Heavy breath's drawn in as I turn off the light: so keenly felt here is your absence; how should I last through the night? Out of fitful slumber, something moves And you might open one eye- But there's nothing there- no one at all Sleeping by your side. Beyond the wall of midnight And but ten small minutes away I'm cursing my adjacent empty space Then whispering your name. How can time drop so slowly? And how can clocks keep their pace When such aloneness is attested to By the tears upon my face? Pass hours, unkind; weary and weary One would think by default that I'd earned A bit of respite from this battle, But still I toss; still, I turn. So many nights I could spend with you limbs entwined in love and light I realize I'm not knowing that now and a sorrow that I must learn to fight strikes deep down as I feel almost lost And still I turn; still, I toss. Shall those hours account for the company I keep? Threatening to seize me, body and mind entire, At night these thoughts of you settle deep And overtake me with desire. -- August 24, 1999 |
