A Widow's Song

Stretched across a desert
Of white pillowed night
I cloak myself in blankets
Of shrill quiet.
Each inch of bed pleads for your return.
In the hint of the moon's bright light
I savor only the memory of your touch
As my eyes search the darkness for
Your smile!

This is sad, but the exclamation point is abrupt and awakens the reader :) much enjoyed! Nice write, Cynthia =Juli-Michelle=
