Aura

Galvanic analgesia 
Settled my 
Nervous jangle, keys 
Rattled in echo chambers 
Ravaged the still of the 
Sultry craven day 
And the nocturnal torpor. 

Abided hush in cotton wool, 
Silenced by her aura, 
Dampened me down, 
Soaked me up, saviour 
Saved herself and quelled 
My agitate. 

In so doing, this halo 
Shone sedation upon 
My turmoil, and smoothly 
Cracked the code 
On vaulted sleep, 
It's encrypted malady. 

When twice removed, missed 
Her vacating respiration, 
Missed the beating of her 
Heart, now pounds for someone 
Else, someone other 
Than I. 

I call out in tacit phrasing, 
By scant implication, 
Some minute grain of mercy 
In her mind will tease, 
Beseech her aura dwell upon me 
Still, once in a while.
