I woke up
Alone and cold
With the torment
Of your eyes
Appealing to my
Unguarded senses
No escape
Even in the dead
Of the night
Tag longing
Bracing the Cold
Making my way down the lane
Bracing the cold and the wind and the rain
Keeping my head down and staring at my shoes
You watched me as I bustled on by
There was no mistaking your voice
Startled out of my reverie –
I looked up, and drowned in your eyes
Blackened Night
I loved you in the dark
I loved you in the light
I loved the whole of you
All through the blackened night
Longing
I remember the days
We spent together
I remember that moment
We first met
I will always feel
The longing in my heart
To be close to you
More of You
Tears escape from my eyes
Leaving trails of salt
Etched on my face
As thoughts of you
Fill my mind and leave
Me wanting more of you
I Wish
I wish
When we make friends we could keep them forever
I wish
When feeling sad, it could be waved away like feathers
I wish
When nighttime arrives, my dream will be one to treasure
I wish
When my fingers start to burn, there will be verses to write
I wish
When I feel pain, there will be those who would take the time
I wish
When I have something to share, there will be those who care
I wish
When I kneel to pray, my prayers reach where they need to go
I pray
For happiness and love, and all things good
I wish
