Drowning In Moonlight

Drenched to the skin

in twilight glow.

I still think of her

in the restless sleep

of My insomnia,

whispering endless thoughts.

Her scent now faded

from the soft pillows

that rested her head.

replaced by her perfume

Placed there

by my own hand.

To bring her memory

clearer to me.

She must never fade away.

Tonight I will sit sleepless

on the summer porch.

Breathe the fragrances

of the gardens we loved.

I am drowning in memories

That will never fade.

Because

when I think of her

I do not feel so alone.

But even when

bursting with

thoughts of her

Sleep eludes me.

and I feel myself

slipping away into

nothingness.
