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

Sandra, "athirst in ardent desire / as they search / for the press / of yours" to me, is the climax, bookended beautifully by images of raindrops and tears. The longing is summed up perfectly in the last two lines. Always love reading you. Congrats on your win today! Hugs ~ John

Such a sad and lonely piece of writing. This echoes of pain and worry and a deep longing that aches. Sadly beautiful my friend.

sadness is a coat that becomes a shelter to peek out of and see the world through tearful eyes...my first thought dear poet...your poem touched me
