When you rest
your head
in a far away bed
Do you know that I'm thinking of you?
Do you feel
my hand caressing,
floating over your head,
opening my soul, in ways only lovers can do?
Do you stand
looking up
at a cool, distant sky,
and feel my kiss soft on your cheek?
Do you wake
in the morning,
entwinded in my arms,
and discover it's only the sheet?
Do
you know my heart yearns,
feel how my soul burns,
taste each aching and lonely breath?
Do
you feel the heavy clinging silence,
know unrequitted love and diligence
wonder if they are your partners till death?
I need to find
a way
to speak words I must say,
to tell you of passion and truth.
But the clock
ticks away
and each dull passing day,
drags me helpless from my dreams of you.
