sullen

 
sullen in the moment, waiting for your return
my soul reaches out to you
across the seas and great barries between you and me

letting myself drift, I find you treading the depths
my thoughts seek yours
we collect in midnigh'ts gaze
a starry night to get lost in

in perpetual motion, perfectly fluid you stay
your moving away from me
looking on while you go, I dream
of quiet mornings sipping coffee
a time someday, to be held

I wonder how often you dream of me
calling to your shadow and places you have been
uttering I love you
while you purvey the scene

my lasting memories of us are a storm
where we gail then silenced
making love in the eye
and when the world intruded
we were torn assunder

still I think of you from where I am
needful time adrift
I sink to your depths
giving myself utterly
until death shakes us

we will rest
