Love Poem No. 8

Longing

Last night in my thoughts

an image of you in shimmering light

My tears glistened in reflection

brought forth by the ache in my heart

Oh the trembling in my soul

craving the gentleness of your touch

The bitter chill of emptiness

thirsting the warmth of your smile

In anguish, I close my eyes

awaiting the angels of sleep

The pain of your absence gone

for in my dreams we walk together

Just as it should be ....
