Will I ever again wake up in your arms,
and feel your warm breath on my cheek?
Your absence from me so loudly resounds
that for now all my moments are bleak

How little I know of the ways of the heart;
how much of the pain in my soul
Must we forever be so far apart
that I’ll never achieve my heart’s goal?

I tell myself no, that my heart will survive
(such faith in the power of love)
but into an abyss with no bottom doth dive
a sullied and tired white dove

The torment that rages inside of my head
digs deep and broad chasms of pain;
how can I live when to you my love’s dead,
and what can I do to revive it again?

As pieces of me whirl about in a storm;
no front, back, up, down, left or right,
surrounded by fragments of dreams that I’ve borne
when pictures of you fill my thoughts in the night

My heart is a leaf in the winds of your soul;
pulled by the forces I seek to defy
I’m drowning in oceans of tears black as coal;
my love is too deep to just wither and die

I certainly hope you stay awhile and  gift us with your poetry. A warm heart must reside behind these words.

~To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.--> Blake~
