what's eating my heart.....

Drowning in Distance

Here I sit
in the frozen sea of
stolen warmth that the miles
have robbed of my arms,
my lips,
and my skin.

Winter has turned the
embers of my love into
aching pain in the pit of my throat….
the hours that separate us
have made me writhe in solitude,
without your embrace, while a
warm smile fools the world of
what's inside.

The questions burn into my brain
When will I see you again?
How long must I wait in
silence? Why does this distance
claim my happiness and yours?

Serenity and love will surround
me again once your arms are
enveloping me with sincerity,
comfort, and tenderness. Your lips
will once again sing me soft music
when connected to mine.

something from September i never posted... go figure :P

The Black


As the sunlight fades
on the glistening dew faithfully clinging
to the petals of the blood red roses
in the garden….

love lingers and then
fades with the shimmering
light that has turned
the clouds to fire.

Through a shadowed window,
brunette locks and hazel eyes
look longingly at the black,
wishing for even the slightest sliver of silver light
piercing through the night
as sharp as his eyes pierce her soul.

But tonight not even the glimmer
of moonlight will bring a gloomy
hope to the poor nymph… a wandering
beauty with only the purest love, now lost
in the deepest ocean of doubt.
