Joined.
In night's half-mad blackness
and lying awake I taste how your spirit
is now thirsting for mine.
Riding dark shadows I keep
restive vigil as I search heaven's still
portals for one sure sign.
The feel of your absence adds
wrench to my yearning and nothing yet
alters my need for ease.
Oh gentlest of lovers bind
your tender fingers to my lonely breast
so I might find relief.
Clasped in echo's embraces
may I reject death's dominion and gone
bliss with fresh felt rapture.
Wedded to love no past taste
of its nectar ebbs if of two remains one
in destiny's capture.
Where is death's hold when stars
joined as we are
fate's thrown coin could ever part ?

Truly appreciate your perceptive comment dear Neville - - to be honest twas a difficult one to write.

Beautiful Fay. So many people robbed of their one true love by death must yearn for the loving, caring, familiar togetherness torn from their existence.
Night time is the time we feel the most needy. Night times atmosphere was one where romance was known in all its forms.
Loss.
Your kind comment hit all the nails on their head D.A. - - night as you say is the worst time for yearning.
DEAR FAY ~ You have touched on a sadness you bear on the Dawn of Valentines that Angela & I dared not broach ! We are a young COUPLE anticipating Union but we are aware that the time will come when PHYSICALLY we will only be ONE. However your beautiful Poem assures us that SPIRITUALLY we will be FOREVER JOINED ~ AMEN.
Your Poem speaks eloquently of the gap left when a Loved One is transported to the Celestial Realm. However:
You taste His Spirit
You long for a Sign
You feel His Absence
You long for His Touch
You reject Deaths Dominion
You taste Loves Nectar
You reject Deaths Hold ~ AMEN !
FAY ~ Your Faith & abiding Love gives us hope (at the Dawn of our Love) that we too could rise above Physical Separation in our assurance of Eternal Life & Eternal Love. Thanks for caring & sharing !
Eternal Blessings & Love
ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
