Where do I go from here,
when I'm so terribly lost
and life is nowhere near.
.
The thoughts of others drone,
ever reminding me that
I'm trapped, forsaken, and alone.
.
In my dreams I wander far,
back to an escape
through the sheen of a distant star.
.
Soaring high to Heaven's graceful peak,
Sun glaze and Moon glow
wash me of everything bleak.
.
When I shake myself anew,
I know she'll be there waiting,
the one for whom my heart beats true.
.
Atop that elated summit,
our hands join for a dance
with gazes meant never to plummet.
.
Our doting caresses to us belong,
as rhythmic pulses and entwined breaths
play our favorite song.
.
Sweeping across the twinkling sky,
I get lost in her presence
which makes me feel as if I could fly.
.
Far beneath our playful feet,
dusk meanders back to dawn,
beckoning an end to my sweet sleep.
.
Holding on until that wake from rest,
she bids me farewell
with a smile she knows I love best.
.
Drifting back into the day's slow burn,
I'm able to bear it all now,
for I know with the night she'll soon return.
