Pray for me
for tonight I sleep
with angry supernovas
and the coldness of
distant galaxies
I ponder my thoughts
The mattress of my bed
It's not soft but rather
sandpaper...so I sleep
on a desert dune...and
the sheets blow
as the desert winds
frigid shreeks of air
like little knives
upon the softness of
my unprotected skin
so I yearn for the essence
of your perfect
precious presence...
but the nights
that I can't be with you
I sleep with Solitude
She keeps me drowning in my
thoughts and fears
as if its her gift
that I can never repay
...haunting my fragile
psyche...echoing in time...

Pray for me
for when the sunlight
washes away
and I can't hold you close
sharing adventures together
in the realm
of the subconscious
because when you are in my arms
in sleep...we dream upon the
petals of roses
and the balmy breezes
of ocean winds...
whisper bottled messages to us
brought from the strata of afar
And when your not with me
sleeping...
hearts beating simultaneously
I have to wait for another chance
to hold you in the night...
but until that time comes
I return again to that desert
floor...alone with Solitude
because its for you I yearn...
your touch becomes the water
that I crave for more and more.

-Ryan

My god ... this is LOVELY~

'the balmy breezes
of ocean winds...
whisper bottled messages to us'

I liked everything about it ... but the thought above sure spoke to me on a very personal level~

WONDERFUL~

Wonderful poem. You’ve perfectly described the feeling of emptiness being alone, when there’s someone you want to hold through out the night. I like this very much.
