How Much I Miss You


Unfluffed, unearthed and uncrated my eyes just will not sleep
beneath a dome of dark this heart is mulling over way too deep
Unfettered, unbolted and unrestrained I float to heaven's nook
to watch the stars shine brightly as a summer's bubbling brook

Surely sounded and surmised I suddenly close my eyes and  pray
Like moon asleep by midnight hour I have nothing left to say
Sedentary, secluded and seated at the desk, I write a poem true
about the way I feel tonight, and Oh ! how much I'm missing you

Tried and tested I trod towards, ... knowing even gold can't stay
like stars of night after spreading light even them must go away
Feeling thankful for the times we had I know that love endures
Feeling floored at the font of loss I know there is no simple cure
                                   for this....

Is it mourning or after a breakup. It could even be a drafted soldier off to fight a war. No matter what it is it's unavoidable. Nicely written It lights it explores It attempts to escape, but and time and substitutes attempt to cure the sickness.

I know...terrible to endure such longing. What makes one write of beautiful things, is also the source of incurable sadness...poets feel often uncontrollably. If out of ink and paper, I would use my blood and dispersing when the mania far too great to bear. Blessings my friend. Very compelling read. True poetry. Oh, A FAV!
