BEYOND

Sometimes
You're just a breath and a heartbeat away
I play with your whispers and sighs
And sometimes
Constellations lie between us
Their gyrations birthing aches
That prey on my yearning insides

I feel our souls lying together
The warmth of yours next to mine
While you hold my dreams in your arms
But sometimes
All we have is the cold night between us
Its silence punctuated
By the shudders of my breaking heart

I wish I could reach out and touch you
At will
Through seasons, through reasons
Through the blanket of shining stars
Traversing the no man's land
Where time stands
Still
Between night and blushing daylight
Soaking magic moments of delight
Scattered shreds of our broken laughter
Coming together......at last.
