EYES CLOSED AGAINST THE DARKNESS

I reach for you
In the blaring stillness of the dark
Fingertips grasp at the mists of dreams
Tongue sliding across dry lips
The taste of your skin still alive
Your rushing blood
Leaves a deep and steady thumping
In my ears
Roaming hands linger on my body
Trembling, a shivering breath
Escapes from caged lungs
Eyes closed against the invading night
You are holding me
Inside the light

VOICE BEHIND THE MASK

The beautifully deep hum of your voice
Rocks me to a sweet slumber
I rest in your whisper
I dream of your words

FUTILE COMMUNICATION

Speak into my ear
I feel the vibration
But I am deaf
Let your image seep into my eyes
You are beautiful
But I am blind
My mind wants to express
To convey thoughts
In a language you understand
But I am mute

SURFACING

Drowning in the tears I've wept for you,
Bathed in the warm waters
Eyes lifted to Heaven,
Rippling waters blur the vision.
Swimming endlessly,
Toward the light of the sun.
