falling into you
  
  
  
awakening
to slant light
I stagger in my loneliness

if I try to stand now
surely I will fall

I could steady myself with you
but you are only
the whisper of my dreams
the cheek of my pillow
the skin of my satin sheet

you are not here
to hold me up

you are not here

Sad?
Perhaps.
But actually written with a sense of hope.
Thanks for reading.

Exceptional!


I like these lines...

"the whisper of my dreams
the cheek of my pillow
the skin of my satin sheet"

How beautiful, this feeling so forlorn and yearning. This is a wonderful poem, I am touched and I thank you for sharing. Tell me what can drive our spirits to such haunting introspection, why must we seek ourselves by measuring the love of others.

Oh..go back to sleep...
and reawaken, very very slowly...
and perhaps she will be there
in the shadows...
