amid the silence
impatience stirs
leaking from the
emptiness
there in
rapture's pulse
a mere thready purr
eyes of ageless ache
how so sadly
you stare down
into your bottomless
memories
my heart doth drown
from a whistle on
the lonesome wind
to the call of a distant gall
a precipice of tears
falls steadily
to the ground
their construction
begins
a tell tale frown
for that one sweet kiss
that may never come
by sight, touch, smell nor sound
alas, alas
amid the silence
what once felt like freedom
is now freedom bound................
