An Ode to….

you linger amatively throughout
every day of my life
I have become so used to
feeling you there….always
that I can’t remember an hour
minute or second that you weren’t

sunset whispers bewitchingly
to the mysterious beauty
of a coming night
infusing my mind with a hunger
more ravenous than simple
glistering stars and full moons
and I can’t help but wonder
where you are

my heart flutters within
all that I feel for you
my lips speak your name
and it echoes amid
the walls of my soul
stirring something so deep
way down inside of me
that I am in awe of the moment

as dusk finally claims victory
over a setting sun
the possibilities dangle seductively
throughout paths never taken
summoning me as fervently
as sirens singing sweetly
for their prey
and I find a great comfort
in just knowing they
are still there

I wrap myself up
in a cool evening breeze
and dream of a day
when I am not wondering
where you are
but instead wondering
what took me so long
to be there too
