Revelry

We lie awake
Caught in restless streams
Floods to memory
Days of reckless revelry

Souls meant to cross
They lay there still
Speaks of hearts lost
Loves that came at a cost

Words fighting the reveal
Fated to be unforeseen
Wounds longing to heal
Space fills the in-between

Eyes resisting sleep
A moment more to keep
Restless we stay close
Lingers perfume of rose

Drowned in the silence
Rises the sun we feared
Wrapped in the everglow
Our hands let go

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Beautiful Bianca, lying in deep afterglow of the one you want to be with (pardon my bad grammar).
