As I Lay Myself To Sleep
As I lay myself to sleep
in the dusk of my heart
The sky still shines bright
Luna streams through the blinds
Its porcelain glow reflects honey in
these almond eyes
....and I think of him
a gentle descent on my pillow-case
golden firefly's radiance cascading
upon rosy silk satin face
A frozen star melting in the silence
of my arms
lavenders' kiss embracing
unworthy lips
But when the night is over
like an autumn leaf in early breeze
He is carried away....far far away
Far too gone, to utter words
I so wanted to say
... and each misty morn
tired footsteps mark the path
to the old oak tree which witnessed our dream
our shared peach ,our holding hands
our blissful joy and distant tears
There I sit, alone but not in solitude
by that grassy stone,which holds his name engraved
Secretly,I whisper to his soul
Unspoken thoughts I yearned to say
'You are gone..but never gone
I might arrive late..yet never too late
I feel your absence in my bones
like cold air on a rainy day
but tomorrow ,somehow,somewhere
Our May garden blooms pink blossoms
by the promise of today'
Ps-This is a fiction poem..
But in reality..Let show love to those
who are dear to us today
Cause tomorrow who knows
If We are to stay???
Inspired by a song-If tomorrow
never comes
