I Await Thee

Mystic Blood/Dark Art Gallery

I await thee... Patiently, In pretense of sleep

beyond deceitful curtains of lavender eyes~~

In  shadows of insomnia I cherish waking hours

Bound me with your passion~~

Quench your thirst from my cup of champagne

Come to my lonely bed...

Let me feel whisper breath upon my neck;

(my slithering serpent)

Ravish...and kiss my scarlet lips

Let me capture your vision,

on my mirrored  canopy of lace~~

I want you my lover as candlelight flickers;

Fearing if I move, I will lose you forever...

(My only lover)

Until the dew of dawn coats the shaft of the sun,

and you leave me to the chilling fingers of reality...

All alone once more~~

It speaks of anguish and need; this piece. I find it more honest than the rest (and I read them all). When the world is not enough... we create what we must. Ensuring, we hope, that none shall see with such burning clarity, our deepest desires, our cherished fantasies; entombed within our souls, lost in time and covered with the dust of capricious disuse. There is no true sense of perception in the reality of our scribbled existence but, in this place, in this sleepless ink-riven realm, thoughts become more real with each seductive journey to those moonlit vistas. Journeys that carry our hearts desire to where it longs to be. Let's raise a glass to this fine poem, to prose and to honesty, Rose.

Eternal love, where one waits restlessly for their love to return; lusting for their presence, yet unsure if they'll make their way back, an endless turmoil of feelings mixed. Enjoyed the read.
