We Await Her Arrival

We await her arrival Our maiden of secrecy Cherished by the stars Whored by the moon We wait for her day and night Our hearts flutter into specs of cherished dust As they escape from us in every cherished breath As they embrace us once more as we draw them back in The sensation This sensation that stings our eyes, draws our lids, draws our sight Draws our thoughts Inwardly, into our mind, as we fall back upon a cloud mattress It embraces us, envelops us form within She who inspires each breath We wait for her in every wisp of night air With every breath we let stray Our hearts are rebuilt of hope Hope that she would come, carried by our true heart, through our lungs To meet us upon our cushion of clouds With every breath we retake Hope is shattered As quickly as it is gone, as surely as our next breath As surely as the next moment of our existence Our life Hope returns We fall in trance Our maiden, hidden in her caves Drunken sleep takes her away The world our maker Whisks her into his forays The swirling dusk, a grey breeze in the darkness We are left behind, in the dark Our desperate eyes cling to the distance A spot light speaks to our sight She is around the corner it says This want from within Inspires each breath, as we race to meet the light As it inches ever away, we pound through the dark, panting And we collide into her In the cool night air We close our eyes She is there Within Our minds can picture nothing else, our eyes smile Our lips quiver With every breath. © Samir Georges 2008
