I loved you today

I loved you today -

unlike yesterday

when your senselessness

clawed at my heart.

I loved you today -

not like the other days

for you showed me that you

cared.

I loved you today -

because although I could not see

you, I felt your heart

beat in time with mine.

I loved you today -

and I will until

the rays of tomorrow

pierce this fragile light 

as weightless as the winds of time-

and again, my heart, stifled, 

is choked,

chained

by your Love

Tonight.

Missing

My heart is chafing, shaking with
      blood
tinged by ardent desires;
My soul is crying for your touch as you briskly
Part from me -

Two Souls,  two incomplete
fragments can
Never
Splice - together -
The fusion is irrepable
despite the grinding of my bones;
the melting of my heart -

(we will never weld together)

Gold and grey are clashing titans;
The Sea and Sky are forever apart.

Looking down, my glisting brown eyes
feel your light, feel your life

Beaming, teasing, being
in My world of shaded hearts:

    but I will never reach you.

The plunge is deep -
