When the shimmering light of day fades
To beautiful hues of pink and purple and blue,
And the sky darkens to the silver glow of the evening moon,
Thoughts of you occupy my mind.
Infinite feelings pulsate through my veins
Flowing like blood to my beating heart.
Scenes of dancing colours enter my blissful slumber.
Red and orange rings of warmth and Pleasure orbit my unconscious mind
As a hazy likeness of your silhouette emerges just beyond reach.
Accompanying your shadow evokes a sense of weightlessness
like a balloon carelessly being whisked away
Into the open sky.
The drifting sounds of familiar lyrics permeate the air.
A golden melody reminiscent of a serenade from beyond the distant past.
I taste the sweetness of honey upon my lips
When the poetic phrases are released from your soul.
Just like the blazing sun heats the earth below,
your voice
wraps me
in a blanket of
warmth
and embeds itself
into every fibre.
An awakening jolts the peaceful visions, swaddled in overwhelming sadness
A dense darkness overshadows the luminous scene
And feelings of trepidation are combined with unwelcome thoughts
An immense weight crashes with the impact of a surprising force.
Realization
cuts through my soul
like the jagged edges of shattered glass.
Fragments
of me,
of you
are vigorously tossed
To
the
ground.
Pieces of what once was, scattered like debris after a devastating wreck.
Trying to breathe but gasping for air while being sucked into a whirlpool of emotions
I still want to feel the heat upon my skin
as yours touches mine.
I still want to feel the fire that has burned
an imprint of you
into the essence of me.
Fighting for a lifeline to keep afloat,
Wanting to hold on to what is deeply cherished
but failing,
always failing.
The absence of you
ignites a spiral of pain that incinerates optimism.
A tear-stained pillow
left in its wake,
with a broken heart
that aches
for the part of you
that has always been
a part of me.
