It's been awhile...


It's been awhile. Nice to see you again after all these years. Here are some things I've written in the last month or so. As always, with varying results. (Uploaded this with my phone and the formatting is...odd. "/" are a sign that you should pause in your reading. Hopefully that'll help with the flow.)

_____

The full moon has risen in a cloud streaked sky/ casting her cool light down on the valleys below.

Coyote howls in the evening air/ are carried for miles 'neath the full moon's glow.

I lie on my bedroll gazing at the stars/ hoping you're looking at them too.

My eyes are on the moon, my heart is in the wild/ but my mind is always thinking thoughts of you.

_____

I am in love with the sun and moon/ the both, they hold my heart.

I see them shine from time to time/ but soon they do depart.

The sun she warms my desolate soul./ My heart sings with her light.

But it's the moon I think about/ and gaze upon at night.

The moon she sometimes goes away./ Where to? I do not know.

The sun she's always waiting to/ embrace me with her glow.

I'm torn between my sun and moon./ Both fill my life with verve.

But in my heart and mind I know,/ it's neither I deserve.

_____

The stars are sparkling in the sky,

I look at them and think of you.

And miss the sparkle within your eyes.

Do you miss looking in my eyes too?

To hold your hand would be a delight,

And take away the chill of this cold.

Someday I'll embrace you through the night -

I'll be happy to 'til we're both old.

I love you more than the heavens above.

Good night, sweet dreams, my dearest love.

You are like the air I breathe when I hike through the mountains.

You are like the sustenance I crave when hunger strikes after a long day.

You are the sleep I drift into when the long day is done.

You are the warmth of the sun and the brilliant stars I gaze upon at night.

You are all of these and so much more - wanted, needed, loved.

Always.
