Sisyphean Climb

Each day I climb the fleshy stalks of your love to perch outside your castle in the sky. I watch the currents ebb and flow as clouds are carried away downstream. I lay patiently in the sun's warm arms for a glimpse through your turret window. As the sun readjusts her body the glare from your window is telling me to try again later. Night comes on fast, slinking it’s way through the sky, prying me from the sun’s embrace and the sweet earth rushes up to catch me. It leaves me breathless as a glimpse through your turret window and I scrape the earth’s blood from my knees to prepare for my ascent tomorrow.
