you
came into my world
and sundered the silence
now
it is constant
incessant
flowing words and background noise
always there is something
chatter, music
you can’t even sleep
without a story or storm
the sound of things
life and living
perhaps
this sound
was what I was missing
The desire and fear
Twist within the confines of
Indecisive hearts
every day
you do some small thing that makes me smile
you don’t even know it
you go about your life completely oblivious
to how you brighten mine
and i will never speak it
but there are tiny bits of you
that make my soul sing
every day
Jumbled word salad
An awkward attempt
To understand
To be understood
To share a simple sentiment.
Monkeys slamming typewriters
Somehow stumbled upon Shakespeare
And here I can't simply spit out
A truth that I hide:
I want you.
I will think of you in the deep quiet of the night
I will think of you in the ferocity of the storm
On the bright summer days
Through enduring drought
When the ice storms of winter
Bend the trees to the ground
I will think of you through every plague
Through frogs and swarms and blood
And through more modern apocalypses
I will think of you, I will think of you
I will think of you through laughter, tears
While huddled facing deep set fears
When I find myself in another's arms
When buried beneath my cairn
The past is past - I will never tell you
But I will never not think of you.
