Somnolent Eyes Awaken
with somnolent eyes
i fixate on these droplets
streaming down
my windshield
like lost tears
trying to find a path
to my lips
as i thirst for warmth
unanchored thoughts
adrift in my mind
falling harder
than this rain
of ashen skies
leave my lips
athirst in ardent desire
as they search
for the press
of yours
i linger
as i embrace desires
unfulfilled
peering
through downcast eyes
at the tears
raining down
as they touch
my awaiting lips
less passionately
than thoughts
had hoped for
i am somber
like this day
