somber

 
somber melancholy plays a deep cello within me
my sadness grows when I am away too long
withdrawn into a different realm
curtains are drawn and I am in my chambers
lamenting your love

it hurts, my lover over eternities
to be without your touch
intimate need, inflects on your subtle thoughts, cueing my lusts
subtle at first glance
but with a powerful pull I am swept under
where I drown in sorrow

yearning what isn't mine to keep
my mind wildly explores you
taking time to note the intricacies that you are made of

dawning desire, serenades my sadness
you an enigma of time
set before me ever on the horizon

my dreams rise to greet your stoic ache
you look away for a moment
and I change before you
becoming so much more
becoming so much less

untying the knots of fate I let go
then rush to find you again
as the world hums and spins
through universes vast
through the void, great and dangerous

my soul reaches to yours
in the depths lost, then found in you
