Night CallA Poem by tmpebblesFor anyone who has lost a loved one. This is about getting a "visit" from them
You approach me upon a solitary night
Silhouette bathed in the moonlight I am in awe of this chance encounter For a long moment, you reside motionless Admirer’s impulse draws me toward you I yearn to embrace your soft flesh To my sadness, you abruptly retreat Then a smile purses your lips Renewed hope overwhelms me With a feather-like caress, you speak “I will always love you” Suddenly, I awake A cold sweat penetrates throughout my body My eyes dance around an empty room In shameless repetition, tears sting my cheeks When will this torture cease? Perhaps, this all the future holds Dreams of fate’s costly hand © 2012 tmpebbles |
