Empty Pillow

Waiting for someone to come home and missing them is always a bitter-sweet anticipation.

 

Waiting for the moment you
beam into our colorful door
that I painted long ago
with the tint of our
geometric life full of
angles and circles.

Butterfly energy rising with my
coffee induced mood and
your faded jeans in my mind
haunting my sleeplessness
as my arm reaches to the
empty pillow next to me.

It is Valentines Day and
Christmas during those
pristine moments that
you are in your car winding
your way towards me and my
persona that is lost without you.

Knowing you will be with me
tomorrow night fills my mind
with candlelight and those
soft, etching moments of
your scent and that everlasting
feeling of pure love that I carry
in a silk lined basket for only you.

Awwww this is very sweet, Very sweet indeed

"soft, etching moments of

Must be a trucker, the one your waiting for... Very nicely done! Thanks for entering it in the "sleepless night" contest!
