gasp

By downwardspiral

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

hazy, silver-black shadows flick across insides of lids,suspended in space; freeze-dried into memories not yet made,as i dream of you at mid-day, and cocoon myself with embers.your smile beams eternal, like sunflowers reaching upward.your lips- a promise yet to be made;eyes, dark and dancing with mischief.features set in a face of my adoration.fingers anticipate, twitching with desireto interlace with yours; to touch the handthat has touched my heart, sure and deep.a digital embrace; the intimacy of fingertips.encompassed by your arms, secured by devotion.i rest my head against you, nuzzle into warmth-contentment at its purest, safety beyond measure;sacred promises softly spoken into my hair.reality and daydream collide with brutal clarity--i am not with you; not in your arms.we are separate in body, but together in time.joined beyond distance... beyond miles.i await your arrival, pulse signaling to you my distresswith sure hope-knowledge that you will respond.consolation of the joining to come slows breathing;whirlwind of emotion-- joy, angst, longing; the promise of life together.and with this revelation,i gasp.
