The Search

(for Henry Cavill)
 
My love.
 
Why did you leave me here alone?
 
I do not know how many years ago  
we were together.
 
I do know I once shared your bed.
You wrapped me safely
in your strong arms  
 
and protected me against a world  
congested by cold hearts  
and even colder intentions.
 
For centuries,  
I searched for you.
But you left me  
 
with this gut-wrenching emptiness  
like a hunger never to be sated  
by any food.
 
I scanned the faces of men  
for your aquiline nose,  
your proud jawline,  
the sensuous slant of your heavy eyelids.
 
Haunted by the memory  
of your kiss,  
its sweet poison of fulfillment  
teasing at my parched lips.
 
But to no avail,  
you have left me here,  
sightless and groping,
without you.
 
I am lost forever,
needing the blue,  
shimmering beacons of your eyes  
to make me whole again.
 
Only listening  
for the music of your voice
to carry me home.
