Warmth Of Your Sun

 

 

Strolling along the cold and damp pavement

My feelings wept into black water puddles

 

There in the lowest of dark places I fell

The gravity of your absence weighed the most

 

And I the meek fragility of flesh and bone

Shivers in the night underneath the moon

 

I grow heavy with sorrow and pain

A dull ache in my heart that seldom subsides

 

Will you come home and bless my body

Overflowing with affection and soft kisses?

 

Dispel this darkness and its dreadful cold

So I may feel the warmth of your sun.
