I need you, like I need rain,
Without you I am like a barren ground without life.
mind filled with wonderings of what the future will hold.
Without you life becomes a sea too vast to cross,
Lost like a seed without its soil.
Without you, I live in a peculiar darkness beyond a storm,
life’s agonies strike worse than lightning. without you, more seconds that turn to days are frightening,
scared of that darkness that will leave me torn,
Restless, I drift, turning like a compass without its north,
whispering soft prayers to the pillow.
“Let me see you, even just in a minute .”
My mind floats through the chase in dreams, where longing stitches our souls in secret seams.
I trace the shape of you in silhouettes of smoke your scent, they hold ,
your laughter echoes.
vibrantly in the wind like through hollow halls.
Your arms my missing shelter,
And still I hope:
that this drought might depart
that morning might arrive
a little less hollow than the night before.

I hope your country recovers quickly
Thank you
A longing poem that lays out its need for another before the reader. Dependent upon another, the words, cry out in a pleading and longing way. Very nicely written.
