An Eternity of Longing

An eternity of want gapes before me

Colder than the chilly breeze

That now cruelly grips my heart

Emptiness enfolds my aching body

As I try to recall your warmth

I listen to a heartbeat that echoes your name

Longing pierces through like a thousand flames

And still I wonder how you are

With a soft bed beneath you, where you lay

Do these same thoughts slash

Through the calm of your night,

Or maybe you are enfolded in a soothing perfume

So many things that I can not know

Can not even control

And still, I am wishing here as I lay

That a crescent moon smiles upon you

That unlike this longing heart

You do not feel the biting cold.

That unlike my needy lungs

You can breathe on your own

An eternity of love gapes before me

Longer than forever

Beyond the bounds of my soul.
