A thousand yearnings

The snow has found us once again,

Setting down it's ghostly countenance as a silent wayfarer.

Tiny flakes gather on the backs and ears of my nighttime visitors,

Long legs holding trim bellies above deep snow.

A knowing calm hides their distress,

As the night conceals a thousand yearnings, theirs and mine.

Today, Tonight, & Tomorrow

Today, we stole a languid kiss Tonight, we share a seditious wish Tomorrow, I'll affirm your fantastic touch
Today, you held my longing heart Tonight, I give my mysterious life Tomorrow, you'll taste my abjured soul
Today, I dream of your ruby lips Tonight, you make an undying vow Tomorrow, we'll face the dark abyss

Starvation

Last night I went to bed hungry

Hungry for your touch
Starving for your smile
Gut rumbling emptiness

Emptiness that won’t be replaced
Like knowing that you won’t
Have solid food for... forever

Looking to the past for nourishment
Nourishment that is like a diet
And a hunger that is never fulfilled
