Rising Feelings

RISING FEELINGS

Our eyes only see what we want to see!!
They can not speak.
Like that clap of thunder over the hills far away
Am a woman that walks alone experiencing not 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 street
Hands interlocking as if we'de never let go
Stay just as we are now;
Why! Waste time sleeping you'll be gone in the morning
& I'll be left weeping!! for the here & now
We'll share the sorrow the pain
Immersing in the laughter...
For when you gone I'll be in the grips of melancholy hereafter
As I reach helplessly for that star shining high above
With feelings of emptiness forever in my heart
For when I kiss your eyes your lips
As I kiss your fingertips begging you stay!
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...& you won't be 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
Beyond that hill the mountain high
What I said to you & you to me
Will stay with me here after!
The moon shining in her fullness trailing you
Has brought you close so close, irrevocably!
To hold you to feel, to feel you so close to me
Rising feelings high;
The hunger in our kisses brought us to an impasse
The poetry that goes beyond you & me
We have a hunger in our eyes our lips
This thing between you & me unbelievable
Hurt feelings as you ignore me
For I am human with feelings too...
I can love-hate just like you!!
But as we clash interlocking our arms
As I touch your face runing my fingers through your hair
Feeling love in my heart...
As I gaze into your eyes, touching your mind with mine
The primitiveness in you as you came in from the storm
Constricting my heart the very breath from me
You are killing me my darling
With your poetic verses of love...
