Rising Feelings

The eyes see only what we want, they can not speak
Like that clap of thunder, over the hills far,far away
Am a woman that walks alone, without experience of the world,
Might as well, be a child in all innocence,
But a child does not kiss your shadow as we dance,
hand in hand in the streets... as we dance hands interlocked,
As If we'd never let go, just stay as we are, now.
Why waste time sleeping, you'll be leaving in the morning,
And I'll be left weeping...we'll share the sorrow the pain 
Immersing in the laughter, for the here and the now, 
For when your gone, I'll be in the grips of melancholy, hereafter, 
As I reach helplessly for that star, that shines high above
With the feeling of emptiness, forever more in my heart
For when I kiss you eyes your lips, as I kiss your fingertips
For I know you'll be gone, far from me, from me!
What will I do when midnight tolls, away 
When I reach out for you, and you not there;
I sleep awake sleep awake, in the thunder of the night
When my whole being trembles, like the trees in the forest,
As they sway & dance, dancing in the moonlight 
Leaving me all alone...as you've done without a thought, in the world
I shouldn't have said I loved you, between that hill
And the mountain high, what I said to you and you to me
The shining moon trailing you has brought you closer, so close 
To hold you to feel, to feel you close to me, the hunger in kisses
Brought us to an impasse, the poetry that goes beyond you or me
We have a hunger in our eyes our lips, this thing between you and me 
Hurt feelings, as you ignore me, for am human with feelings too 
I can love- hate just like you, but as we clash interlocking our arms 
As I touch your face your hair, feeling love in my heart 
As you came in from the storm, constricting my heart my soul
You are killing me, with your poetry verses of love.
