Poem
In the stillness of my room I lay in bed arms snugged tightly around my pillow turned side-ways facing moon and light But it is not the burnt orange moon but glowing embers in his eyes that warm my vacant night. Tonight ,I see him just like on other nights He is the vision in my last waking thought He breathes within every breeze in my sleep He rests right beside me holding my hand and dreams. Tonight ,I recall his soft whisper in yesterdays'path Sweet -nothings in my ear touched soft-spots of my heart. I find him in mountains bathing in fresh rain riding on horses in memory lane. I watch him get closer calling out my name Its there when I kissed him , then ran far away. I see him on earlier days where He has found me It was love at first sight and instant chemistry . It was deep affection for a blue collar guy with dirt on his shirt and an amorous smile. I smelled poverty all over him ,and on his soaked fuel rag. Smelled the soap on his skin , and books in his bag. He passed one to me ,and said it is mine I made him a pledge that I'd scribble a line. One line followed others in chapters of time Chapters of star spumes, sunrise , and sky Chapters of novels about a blue collar guy. Inspired by a book I read in my early teens .called 'Mysterious Mountain Man'
