Without You

I stayed awake last night
thinking about a tomorrow
without you as part of these
coming days of mine.

The mornings music thru
open window brings hint of
honeysuckle and your scents.
Songs by morning birds mimicking
your voice and breaths, upon
my waiting ears and consciousness
with soft delightful charms.

I think about afternoons
in what I feel is a half
lustful state waiting to hold you.
In trance by the offing of our lips
meeting each other once again.

To imagine an evening not engulfed
by our translations tighten my stomach
in knots of loneliness and wanting.
How you bring me to such heights,
let me adore you, for I would not
stray beyond the reach of your kiss.

I will fall into sleep wishing the week
away and long to be adjoined with you
again in my embrace and in your heart.
Hold me soon,

I whisper tonight.Alone.
