We Await Her Arrival
We await her arrival
Our maiden of secrecy
Cherished by the stars
Whored by the moon
We wait for her day and night
Our hearts flutter into specs of cherished dust
As they escape from us in every cherished breath
As they embrace us once more as we draw them back in
The sensation
This sensation that stings our eyes, draws our lids, draws our sight
Draws our thoughts
Inwardly, into our mind, as we fall back upon a cloud mattress
It embraces us, envelops us form within
She who inspires each breath
We wait for her in every wisp of night air
With every breath we let stray
Our hearts are rebuilt of hope
Hope that she would come, carried by our true heart, through our lungs
To meet us upon our cushion of clouds
With every breath we retake
Hope is shattered
As quickly as it is gone, as surely as our next breath
As surely as the next moment of our existence
Our life
Hope returns
We fall in trance
Our maiden, hidden in her caves
Drunken sleep takes her away
The world our maker
Whisks her into his forays
The swirling dusk, a grey breeze in the darkness
We are left behind, in the dark
Our desperate eyes cling to the distance
A spot light speaks to our sight
She is around the corner it says
This want from within
Inspires each breath, as we race to meet the light
As it inches ever away, we pound through the dark, panting
And we collide into her
In the cool night air
We close our eyes
She is there
Within
Our minds can picture nothing else, our eyes smile
Our lips quiver
With every breath.
