beyond those shadows

you've crawled
beyond those shadows
then revealed your
desolate soul to me

wailing, wailing
those overwhelming three words
for a moment
to embrace
my heart

i always sensed
you were far more
than you have ever lead on and
as i held your gaze i thought:
believe me when i say
you're beautiful 

the moon, so silent, abstract and wondrous

the moon, so silent,
abstract and wondrous for the life
it breathes in me which
easily ignites my desire

though i only wish to captivate it with words
i have no intention of ever reciting to you
it whispers of vagueness
and i listen intently

remembering when you and i shared within

the very spirit of beauty
each and every
midnight rendezvous 'til
i whisper 'i love you' through teary eyes

oh, if i could alter these memories then
i'd surely have us together, and
in the essence of dreams, forevermore...
forevermore

it pains me
through depth i cannot fathom
to know you linger quietly,
so alone.

while absorbed by your chaos--
the tenderness of a misguided fool,
i well up.

why have we fallen, 
broken... together yet 
so far apart.

your very heart 
entwined
with thought which
bleeds an immeasurable 
torment begs of the rain
for love
and i
can only watch you as you mourn.

undyingly i have failed you
for how i couldn't
save you from
all we've lost. 

is this just or
something we anchor from our longing? 

linger

my thoughts linger
ever often
during hours in which
the world seems
to doze beneath the moonlit skies
 
i'm alone, while waiting for...
something. anything.
 
and i cry to the stars for your
amorous touch.
 
where are you and
do you think of me too?
 
days when we were
so fond of beautiful sunsets
haunt me.
my eyes veiled.
 
oh, you seem so near, yet
so far, so far, so far.
 
how has it come to this?
 
i need you.
