Waiting
.
Winter is leaving.
With each slant of sun,
another leaf unfurls
The room
with its' faded walls
and melancholy air, seems
pale and wan
in the watery light, and yet -
his brown length seems darker.
In the distance
a train whistle sounds,
a plaintive cry
like the drawn out soul of a note,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
and the moon is a pearl
hiding her fading glow behind
the pink yawn of dawn
He sighs in his sleep
The cat meows at the door, wanting
to be let out
The tick of the bedside clock
keeps solemn time
He sighs again,
his warm breath a hush
Passions' memory
drapes over her like a pashmina,
as she lays there
watching him
Last night -
She remembers the gentle heaviness
of him
She recalls his touch,
his hands like stars
upon her wanting skin,
and it's all she can do
to not wake him -
confess to him -
her darkness,
her longing,
her ache.
