Blowing In The Wind

Whispering silently through the night
As we held tight a little madness was alright
We danced indolently, the floor white so white
The bed in the moonlight's whispering's
I could scent a river in you, as the wind swept  through
Sending shivers right through my spine
In the palms of our hands, our dreams,
The dreams of lovers in the night our minds!
Shadows, silently sweeping, lying there you and I
The sleepless nights our minds the sigh's in the night
A quiet room  just you and I
The storm picking up as I open my window
The winds across the room
Looking out notepad in hand, I start writing
Blowing in the window
Flashing lightning striking just below my window
Hair standing on end looking into my mirrored glass
Feeling lost within uncertainty in my mind
That once in my lifetime strangely comes to me
That at my door you'll be feeling a certainty
The wind rattling my windows as I open the door
But you weren't there you weren't there!
Just the sound of the flowing river whooshing by
Looking out the streets ambiguously
Unknown by me
The cobbled streets of my childhood shimmering in the rain
Your shadow I see everywhere
Softly stepping almost like a whisper
As you climb one by one my stairs creaking
Howling winds in the night
Taking everything in sight
Just like that night you took my reason
As if my poetry never existed,
A different me!
Taking you away from me the storm
I cried in the night I uttered... please!
The lightning striking
Going back in time that night
As I kissed your shadow in the storm.
