LONGING

She walks in shadows,
Memories
her companions
Of a time
she once knew
In a place where
she once
was smiling
With you.

Where are the
Lights
That glowed
In your eyes?
How is it
The sun no
Longer shines
as it once did
In a garden
Where she first
Found you?

Shake,
She does try
Yet to
Loosen the
Bindings,
The touch of
Your words,
But their
Relentless
Echoes
Merely deny
Her insistence.
They mock
Her pleads
With their
Constant
Whispers.
And she is
Bound to
This ache,
This longing.

Will she one day
Find you again,
Mingled in the
foam, swirling
In a sea of
Faces?
Will you
Remember her
as she has never
forgotten you?
Will a voice
Call to her
Somewhere
From the void?
Will it lead you
to where you
once together
Stood?

You're so close,
Closer than
A breath,
Closer than
The dew kissing
A pedal of morn.
And yet her
Fingers
Weak from wanting,
Fail to feel
Your presence
Ever here.
Tricks of her
Mind play
Upon her heart
Like a magician's
Castled mist
And fog ever so
Weaving
Ever so haunting
As leaves lie
Rotting in
This bed of
Longing.
