At Once Into Blind Empty Space, At Once Into Her Arms

At Once Into Blind Empty Space, At Once Into Her Arms How can it be Something so unwittingly described Can break me Remake me Turn me to the sorriest of fates And still fill my heart With this happiness of late How can she wound me so Yet heal all the injuries I have ever known With her existence But alas, not her presence Which sifts its way so tenuous So tender through my thoughts The merest pin prick and point of a feathers touch Settles such a succinct telegraph of love Nestled sleeping it was Always in my heart She wakes me but shakes me to wishing dreams To disregard the alarms of early birds And curl forever in the warmth of sleep Where I lay always next to her How do I survive without her When everything I am When everything I am is wrapped and entwined to her Though I live and breathe The indrawn falls upon my empty And every expression, which defines me Troubled and at peace inside me Soars on every possibility of her How can I fly so high But still be dashed and dragged to these rocks How do I fall so shattered And yet still be constantly reborn Struggling through a morass of unrequited kisses Yet gliding free on the ripples she sends With those same unfelt and untested lips Parted so, yet her spirit prevails I feel the wish of her lashes softly closing her eyes The sliding soft comfort of her embrace As she takes and holds my empty hand And all the caution in the world All the alarm of early morning birds Cannot halt my rushing head long At once into blind empty space, at once into her arms How did I have a heart Without you What life was there Where soul My love Who was I Without you And though I live and breathe I expel each breath on the empty But every expression which defines me Is bursting with firework delivery Colours in the night so laughing With the unknown embrace of how you love me And how I so desperately love you in return ( My friends The soft and compliant daggers of love I know you know so well Sharp cuttings of tears And the ever expectant solace of their smiles )
