Obscurity

In the unforgiving
....obscurity
of the night
my heart aches
for the absence of you
and this body of mine
wrapped in satin sheets
....yearns
for your delicate touch
to sooth the rawness
of the empty bed
that I lie upon
as I  pour my hopes
into another dreamless sleep
to find no satisfaction
in the images
that I have imprinted
onto the wall
...... pressed into my mind
and the cold...
..of this dark
is intolerant of my wishes
and casts me back
to languish
in the shadows
of my satin sheets
and sleepless dream.
