Empty Spaces

Empty Spaces

 

 

I looked into your eyes
And the universe melted around me.
I felt your wanting, your needing
Pulsing through my veins.
You held your breath
For eternity,
While I teetered
On the brink of a dream.

Then I fell,
Headlong into your waiting smile.
I rested my thoughts
On your perfect lip,
And gave you my soul
In a kiss.

I looked around at the new world
And drifted across the ocean
Towards the setting sun.

But when I turned back,
All that remained
Was the whisper of your name
On the evening breeze,
And the ever growing
Empty spaces in the dark.
