In Love & War: Under the War-Torn Moon

 


Letting you come to me, 

   has been an unseen torture- 


   a rip at my chest 

Since the moment of your departure. 


  Years. 


     A void in my hollow womb. 


A shallowness pecking for breath. 


   Letting you come to me

Has been, just another Shadow Dance with Death. 


  It has gone against my every grain, 

  Against the meddlesome kicking beneath my breast 


Loving you like this, 

   and awaiting your return 


It was the iron branding, embossed in fire and blood, and ice


It was the scar left mark, 

  that made sure, I could never rest. 


I am trying to be patient, 

  Since you left me behind 


Picking up letters, 

  In the ambiance of your mind. 


I am trying to believe, 

  In the last impossible thing

I'd given credence to; 


That last impossible thing, My Darling...

  Was merely a chance 

To Love you. 



  Imperfect and all. 

A day by day fall. Fear and Love, 

  Ready to Waltz...


It is true, My Love...

  I just wanted the chance for us. 



Waiting for you...


   Like a mother & lover's wound; 

An absence maiming 

  To the core. 


I need to talk to you 

   Right now in time...


 Only...


It is just your ghost at my door. 


Sometimes, rather than others

  Feeling you dredgingly

Sometimes, I can ignore...


But it is nothing more than your voice 

   and the friendship 

  of the man I so long for...


That kills me more. 


  Yet in peace I rest. 


Believing in the impossible, 

  And the fantasy of depth, 


  As my heart howls out for more. 


She beckons. 


as 


I have always been a wolf summoning 

  drumming and howling 


  at our Moon.
