Of this I write, hope, dream…

Of this I write, hope, dream…

 

Lying here between the folds of an uncaring sheet

A wind chime blustery morning calls me from sleep

Tracing shadows on dark walls through desperate eyes

Counting minutes on a clock’s reflective markings

 

Rain drips from altered eaves steadily, slowly falling

In syncopated patterns on damp grass clippings

Teasing my mind in the endless possibilities

Of what my desires, even at this hour plead

 

Your image finds me, still and silent

Questions come in long sentences

Breaking down dreams of distance church bells

Wondering if we truly could be, together

 

Will you ever find love again, could you

In the arms of one who imagines your beauty

Tastes your lips in midnight thoughts

Feels your skin on chilly twilight sighs

 

Of this I write, not because it is who I am

But because it is what I was meant to be

Poetically entwined, metaphorically wrapped

Draped upon your heart in phrases of collected verse

 

Read aloud as a smiling sun approaches

Whispering your name over the horizon’s wonder

Echoing of this affection that drains my soul

And longs to breathe you for the very first time

 

From my pen flows lonely ink

In lace-like frilly fonts of an italicized nature

Curling around these words penned in the dark

Hoping you see, hoping you read, hoping…………

I really really love this Jack, only a poet dreams & yearns in this manner.

Of this I write, not because it is who I am
But because it is what I was meant to be
Poetically entwined, metaphorically wrapped
Draped upon your heart in phrases of collected verse

Stunning, can't say more.
