In Your Absence

March 25, 2004

As I sit and feel the timeless beat within my being
Grow and slow with the ebb of my soul,
My mind is swept away to whatever place you are. For my heart is there too.
My mind's-eye alone brings your warmth and depth and breadth to my touch.
For though I will need you all my life, I know it may not be so to have you.

A time shall come in the evening of our life when I travel back to the morning when I can't.
I will sit in silence and long to feel your presence.
Smell the sweetness of your skin.
Hear and feel your love beating next to mine as I hold you.
Dream of yesterday when your touch was a reality and yet a dream.
For your love rises in the sun and sets in your eyes.
Perfection is defined by your heart then rewritten with your touch.
Beauty begins in your lips and ends in your words.
Life lives in you and dies with you.
