THE HIDDEN SCARS OF LIGHTNING'S SPEARS

Dark night sky,
hides, just like my heart,
behind clouds, more than often.

My wounds bleed,
like my unseen eyes,
weep, in the past midnight hours.

I crave love,
more than promises,
and assurances on the phone.

I need her,
more than any lover,
wants to love her or be loved.

I want Him,
More than Moses did,
My deep longing does not end.

I may die,
in my endless bid,
To be a whole with my goals.

It's no joke,
to keep on loving,
And day-dreaming all the time.

It's like death,
to be stabbed and hurt,
by barbs of love day and night.

Passion's vows,
are so comforting,
Yet this heart needs a heart too.

I am near,
the verge of losing,
everything in my love-quest.

Dawn and eve,
and seperation,
are cannibals, devouring me.

Her pledges,
and His promises,
How long can they sustain me?

An embrace,
And a sublime kiss,
And abundant love are my cure.

I am I,
and only He knows,
The love I need -- to be saved.

Clouded sky,
Like my rented heart,
Hides scars made by lightning's spears.

For how long,
all this will go on,
I wonder as thunder roars.

To be near,
In her loving arms,
is the fire of my desire.

Just with her,
And the truth divine,
But then it's: Where? When and how?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Love is a lonely song...sung by Paul Anka, way back in the 1870s...and my love is a lonelier song...which maybe sung by someone, some day.
