DM Babbit Poet Rhyme

Alone Without You

Mid-summer dreams slip into the heat
 a hazy day, wind streams blow branch and leaf,
    humidity thick and heavy in the air,
    the July sun beating between the clouds there;
a heartbeat resounding on the winds;
    memories lingering, sway in the tempest rising
    cyclonic spinning wrapping around me, tithing,
it's just a thought, a ponderance in time
    of promises spent early on, in prose and rhyme
    while I wait on their return within my prime,
but time only seems to age us, 
    steals away the experiences of youth
    the hopes of what could have been our combined truth;
gone now, lost to the tenacity of what was surplus
    as I wait, lost,  - no longer us
    alone, 
me -
    without you.
