Nightwings

*~*

Cobwebs hang in the memories of my mind
  Voices of the past echo thru my soul
A melody of sad refrain plays upon my memories...
  like the strings of a lonely violin 

I wander through  my dreams
  searching for places to warm my heart- lay my head
I no longer wish to sleep…
  for in my dreams- your image sears my brain
burning your face into my soul 

I  awake with sadness,  with longing
  an emptiness resides within my bosom
I long for peace and solitude
  I long for You

                                                              *~*
