I've no clue for the title of this particular write. Suggestions, though, are welcome.
In shadowed dreams I wait
Pining in the night for some
Forgotten vision that faded
Long ago
Pacing back and forth as if
A wolf trapped within a cage
I struggle with heartbreak
This is nothing new
These tears I shed are like anvils
As they hit the ground
Impact tremours shake me violently
Until I tumble down
Hair pulling and face scratching
I suffer for eternity in this Hell
That is called Life
Let me find peace
My howl goes unheard as I
Pine away in the night
Lost to listless dreams
With no wings to take flight
Barren this oasis has become
Unfriendly even to the likes
Of me as I contemplate travel
To go abroad into someone
Else’s fantasies
If only I could reach out without fear
If I took thy face within mine hands
Kissed those lips and held thee tight
Wouldst thou run in fright?
For here within mine sinking lands
Of distraught imageries lingering
I’d welcome thee with open arms
Even if this is only No Man’s Land
Alas, tis only but a dream again
This mind o’ mine keeps yelling
If only I could hold thee close …
Just for one precious moment
Let thy soul that burns so bright
Know that there is a welcome
Sign flickering in the night
If only I could stare into the sea
Of blue that swirls, the gateway
To the soul of thee …
