Lacing My Days

There are times
when I awake, the early hours
giving me pause,
my words scatter,
brained too deep.

I look you over, wondering
if what I see, in eyes of truth, mine,
is unmasked before me
allowing me to settle in,
feel the flow, and master
my fantasies.

At the moment, I feel untitled,
neither loved nor in the process of,
the emptiness becoming the norm.
The quietness touching me
more often than not.

If it rained on me today,
I doubt whether I would feel soaked,
but instead would enjoy its touch
breaking the monotony
of another summer day.

I wonder if second chances
were meant for me, if body language
says more than I wish it to,
pushing away what could be.

There's strength in fear,
protecting me from dark illusions,
from betrayals and flashbacks
of crumbling walls.

I am held in a kiss,
one that has walked away
leaving me drifting,
studying cloud formations
pretending I see more
than what's there, so I can lace my days
in golden dreams, center my mood
in tomorrow's gain
and save a smile for you.

A very beautiful love poem, Maureen.
I enjoyed reading it.
