nameless without a face...

 

 

winter dawns behind him.

as i watch, 
(hidden)
behind some trees,
my breath hangs
in this fridgid air.

i  can feel
his eyes searching,
his thoughts tugging
the ends of my hair
but i hold fast,
grasping
rough tree bark, 
under raw fingertips.

i  let go.
my  heavy heart
anchoring  me.
i sit on the frosty ground.
i lower my head to my arms.

my  blood  is pulled to him
our hearts pulse to the same beat.
i  can feel his fingers laced through mine
so i tangle my fingers in my hair.
wrap my arms over my head
and sob.

alone, in my woods.
branches snagging my skirts.
those thoughts tugging my hair...
i lay my heart open
and naked to the sky.

embracing him the only way i know how,
the only way im capable right now,
wrapping  my thoughts like arms around him.

intangible as ever
hoping ghosts whisper my kisses
onto his lips...
i dream of his touch...
