alone
quiet
missing
as the world sleeps
and the night teems
with all things
nocturnal
that is where
I find
you
alone
softly
I cradle you
and none can see
and only one
can feel
the stirrings
of heartstrings
strung taut
against the
night
cross rivers
over valleys
you wait
not knowing
never knowing
candled chasms
endless voids
that separate
love not to
be
alone
quiet
missing
as the world sleeps
and the night teems
with all things
nocturnal
that is where
I hold
you
