Gentle moans silenced only by the sound of your breath against my bare skin. The rise and fall of you sends me reeling into a place only love knows. The touch of your hand lands gently with anticipation on my flesh as our bodies cry out for more. The pale light of the moon brushes across your face and I see the need in your eye and it catches me. I never wanted to love like this again, yet I lie beneath you, totally under your spell. Your lips whisper words only a lover can hear, words that resonate in my head like a symphony. I need you. I desire you like I desire no other. I am not complete without you. Be at one with me in moments defined by pure desire. Heart beating against heart. Flesh melding into flesh like hues on the desert horizon. Subtle in its message, direct in its meaning. Fall unto me and give of yourself totally; intoxicated by your love.

Depth upon depth, the blackness in the void of missing you seems endless. How I hope a single ray of light would permeate the abyss you left in your wake. Never ending sorrow that began with the sweet taste of love's first kiss. Temperament lay at the feet of this bitter soul, yearning for the day it encounters love's kind embrace again. A soul meets a soul and a heart beats a rhythm never ending. Everything in my being remembers you. Your smell, your touch, your whispers of a promise of a love everlasting. Times sweet lie and the deception of a memory of a love that never was. A hate that runs deep with a parallel love. Both reminiscent of what we shared. Betrayals like a knife through my soul welcoming life's end to a day without you.

Stillness come swiftly and calm my aching heart. Let the dark of night cover me like a blanked until the harshness of morning brings me back to another day without you. Sweet surrender to the very thought of you; bitter is the reality in knowing we will never be. Mere apparitions fill my day, lonely voices echo in the hollow of my soul. Day upon day melts into nothingness for what is real without you. Gentle evening, embrace me once more for you are the only comfort I know. Let me know not another day to which I've become accustomed to; one devoid of anything sacred or loving. Take me with you gentle evening never to return. Night, my safe harbor my souls peace.

Menacing is the night that encroaches on my dreams as the sudden awakening brings my consciousness about me. Hidden in the shadows remains the essence of you, forever still in the night. Your memory surrounds me while I try in vain to purge you from the depths of my soul; all the while fighting the demons that keep you in a place not even time can touch. A longing so deep that its mark is forever etched within me. What that I would love if the stars could align again and draw you near to me. Memories, don't betray me now, for without you I would be lost forever. Envelop me and let me fade away in my lovers embrace as the night consumes me again.

Cold and gray lay heavy on my heart like a fog on the horizon of the ocean. Memories of you pierce my conscience, jolting my being back into a world I want no part of. I see you in everything that I've become; longing that you were really here laying beside me n y pity. Your smile once welcoming me, now its curve forever etched in a painful corner of my mind never again to sense its true meaning. Love, boastful yet silenced, hopeful yet deceived. Can your love touch me again through reminiscing in the past? Can you see me for who I was yet languish in who I've become? The child I was is the woman I am today, with our without you.
