lonely of heart
I wander the streets
memories leading me
to back alleys of
buried pain within
timeless loss
The heat of the sun
strikes my frosted heart
burning with desire
for one more kiss upon
lips starved of love
lost in layers of hope
I long for your whispered
promises of life beneath
the shelter of your warmth
once more be stirred
by heat rising as you fuel
the fire of lost dreams
I pass the signs of one-way lanes
head home to rest inside the dark
wait for you beneath the stone
pressed against my chest
