sleepless...

written a long time ago...now a long forgotten...

you flow through me

     my soul shakes my body breathless,

     exhausted i, ache for you

my heart numb

     refuses to let my mind sleep,

     to dream of you

the pain rushes through me

     and forces out as tears that first sting,

     then burn down my face while i, cry

i feel you here

     your breath in my ear is only the silence,

     around me

i realize the touch of your hand

     is only mine as i tremble,

     from the absence of, you

i close my eyes and cover my face with my hands

     trying desperately to manifest you here

     by my side

tortured and tormented by the night  

     the sweet release of sleep that will calm and soothe

     dances around mocking, me

in the still and the dark

     sleepless, alone in vain, i wait for you

     but always you flow through, me

Author's Note

The poem is very good. I don't like waiting. Time make the desire become stronger and needed. I like the feel and the ending to your very good poem. A excellent poem.
