Must Love Always Be This Way?

by konpreah   Jan 12, 2015


Your breath grows soft with slumber
Your dreams fill the air with fragrance
I lie here beside you like a drunken child
Watching for omens in the night
Gazing through the purple
Haze of insomnia

An image drifts across the darkness
Breaking into yellow shards
And golden pools of rain
A new moon rises to a higher pitch
Shining wave upon wave
As far as the ends of Earth

White sails flutter full and taut
The North Star shining brightly
And yet I know not where I go
As all the while unmoved you sleep
Untroubled in your chrysalis of peace
Why my dearest must love always be this way?
