"Him"

All I have to say is that it sucks being single sometimes! These words wouldn't let me sleep. I kept tossing and turning until I had to get up and just get it off my chest. I was having a moment, but luckily, the moment passed. But I know the feeling will be back...


“Him”

Man of mystery
unseen
unknown
untasted
but as familiar to me
as my own reflection
I know you in my dreams
but you fade away
at the dawn of each new day
the opening of my eyes as I rise
begins a new game of hide and seek
you see
it was just a moment ago that you were here
speaking unspoken words of love
sharing sweet medicine
curing my aches
needs
and ails
loving me as a king who adores his queen
you are real to me
I seek your face
like a bending rose reaches for the sun
I hear your whispers in broken promises
just hold on, you say
I am on the way
just hold on
the mantra of the weary
the blind faith of a lonely heart
and the strength
of one who dares to stand in the shadow of ever-present hope
beloved familiar stranger
you have not been behind door number 1
2
nor 3
I tire of the search
for you are but a dream
and I
the fool who waits for you…
