Breathe…Touch

Touch…
Ever so softly, ever so gently
Through the shadows of the lonesome night,
Finding it’s place on my beaten brow.
Releasing the river of salty emotions
That are dancing inside my raging thoughts
And follow along my slippery path…
Step by step..giving me an eerie comfort

Hear…
When we are distant, and our hearts apart,
I close my eyes and sing…
Sing only within the caverns of my mind
Knowing that I am being heard.
And waiting to exalt my next symphony of contentment,
To capture your response…
One that floats upon the arms of the wind,
Only to rest it’s weary presence upon my tender ears

Fear…
Suddenly, the world around me is crumbling…
Falling apart
The voices, the groans, and the endless shrills
Are trying to pierce through my pale skin
And evoke a silent solitude deep within my soul
I cannot bear the static and the distorted images
Of your missing memory any longer

Smile…
I open my eyes and listen..
They are silent
Their harsh verses retreat, and in their place..I am blinded
The glorious rays of the sun glowing
Shining upon the dawn of a new horizon
Bringing with it warmth
And a hope of a renewed spirit

Breathe…
A new reason for being…for existing
I reach out…and I am received
There you are
Your lips, ever so sweet and innocent
And to you..a promise and a vow
Never to be muted again

Mediaguy75,
Nice structure…I liked this poem, especially these lines-
“I reach out…and I am received
There you are
Your lips, ever so sweet and innocent
And to you..a promise and a vow
Never to be muted again”
