In Silence of the Night

Lying back, sounds of crickets
breaking my silent thoughts,
as trying to dream once more,
has become almost an artform.

Lighting candles, vanilla,
my favorite, to enhance my senses,
enticing my mind to remember
to feel, to want and desire.

What once was is gone,
taking from me the strength
to pursue life's forces and
leaving me weak from need.

If only, two words of no meaning,
yet they keep escaping my lips in sighs,
wanting to exile them to that corner
in my mind and heart where the"forever lost" resides.

So hard it is to give up routine
even one's that have made you suffer.
So numb to the pain, that you almost
can't exist without the hurting.

Here I lie, tonight in the warmth,
soaking in thoughts of the now,
inhaling the smells of tomorrow,
releasing a little at a time, yesterday's dreams.

And in the silence of the night
you shall come to me,
in the steamy mysts that reign
merely a dream, but my future's hold.
