Enduring Breaths
Laying down wondering
where did you go after
visiting my dreams
from time to time?
A regular guest you became,
Now I see you less and
less leaving my memories
in such an emotional
distraught,
as you left a feeling
I thought I would never have,
a desire unknown,
a burning sensation leaving
me trembling whenever
I fall asleep
dreaming hoping
to see you but terrified
to awake in our gardens with-
out you,
your lasting impression heightens
this tension made by your
breath,
voice,
smile,
and eyes,
a reflection in every flower
I pass by,
as I get closer to the end
of this path,
I slowly step off
this carousel,
despite your absence in our
short lived encounters,
I await your return breathing
in the last gift you left,
silently I yearn on my own
behalf..
