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, without you.
