The Poet In Me

Fire rampaging through there was no sign of you
I was burning through & through the fire within me
In the evening's twilight the love between us
Across darkness permeating within
The corridors of my mind
Between the darkness & the light
Murmuring, little birds as the evening sets in
The moon in her fulness sheading her light
Like a spot light searching her beam upon you
As you lie hugging your pillow against you
Weeping like a river, wet with tears
The westerly winds softly blowing upon me
Unbelievably softly caressing me
A feather light whispering...
Coming upon you the fog & the dew
The moon at half light just about to see you
Waiting for you in the sleepless
Of my nights hopping;
My eyes sleepless too..
If I was the only being in the world
Awake awaiting for you
Greeting you my lips softly kissing you
Uttering my verses of poetry;
Filling my mind with images touching you
Drinking the essence of you
I, am flowing just like that river
As I step near to you
The madness the sheer madness
As I hold your face and see
That reluctant madness in you too
As if a magician casting my cards aimlessly
Fresh on my mind my words
As I look at you..kiss me wont you
Like poetry in motion kissing you
The woman that I am
The Poet in me!
