Awakening

Awakening

The candlelight  flame casts strange shapes on the wall.

The cracks in the blinds let in light.

A  gold harvest moon floods the room with its thrall.

The dawn creeps so close, soon will banish the night.

I pull up the covers, to hide out my fear,

my pillow, like stone ‘neath my head.

I know that when daybreak’s about to appear

I’ll face what your actions have said.

The wind rushing through the trees, loosen their leaves

as I lay in my bed oh so cold.

The blustering breeze, shaking all of  the eaves.

my heart beats but  can’t be controlled.

The love that I feel for you eats at my soul…

So deep that it makes my world sing.

Without you I’m nothing, not half and not whole,

but I know what tomorrow will bring.

I live for the night and pray morning wont break

and I don’t have to see you disguise..

What I know will be there when  I see you  awake….

Your love’s died and it’s there in your eyes…..

How kind of you to comment  so positively Christopher!when not writing poetry I am a person of few words and get tongue tied talking to 'real' people so am always humbled by any praise. More than this though it makes me so happy if anything I have written has been enjoyed... so thank you dear fellow Poet!

Don’t tell me that love’s never wasted,
there’s always a little remains,

An image staring back at me
a face I don’t yet know,
The mirror says ‘I never lie
