Alone

Alone

My mind is restless tonight
restless but content
the raging thunderstorms
an answered prayer

alone in the darkness
I watch the flickering candle
as it cast soft shadows against
the spot where you once slept

my fingertips brush across the shadow
remembering the way your skin felt
the way your body
responded to my touch
and
the scent of love

deep breath

a dream whose purpose I never knew
continues to linger

deep breath

your imagine
occasionally drops from the moonlit sky
and leaves with the darkness
taking fragments of me with it
