A short love poem

AWAKEN
Sara L. Russell 

Are you awake?
so much I wanted to say
you smile so gently, in sleep, as you're turning away
secrets of silence
in words weighing too much for sound
I want say them but watch them all fall 
through the ground

Are you awake?
so much that begs to go right
so much I wanted to heal, in the balm of the night
tentative touches, 
such chances as never return
but you are sleeping. I lie by your side 
and I burn.

The feelings expressed here remind me of those that I shared via my short story posted here at AD entitled, "Sigh." Your poem is most compelling, Sara. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Hi Sara,

It's been a while since I've read your work. You have a way of capturing the moment... so much so, I was there.

THE IMAGERY IS SO VIVID IN THIS WRITE OF ONE WHO WANTS SO MUCH MORE THAN TO 'SLEEP' THE NIGHT AWAY. WELL WRITTEN AND THANKS FOR SHARING. BLESSINGS. JOYCE
