Life Lines

Can anyone hear me?

The street lights glow
in our nightly absence

The universe shines
brilliantly

Knowing no one sees
her beauty.

I am a creature
of habit
I am a creature
of the night.

Distance

Lights
flicker
on
and
off
somewhere
not too far off
in the near
distance

My eyes flutter
fighting off
the inevitable sleep

The cosmos blend together
the stars
collide into one

The night sky becomes
a smeared painting
A window
into another universe

My heart yearns
to go back home
but my body
drifts off
into
a
soft
slumber

...
Is there anyone out there?
...

The silence is unbearable.

I reach for your hand,
knowing full well
it isn't there.

Just one of those nights
that I need you more
than others.

But maybe
when I drift off
into the land of dreams
I will come
face to face
with you.

And we will smile.
Our hearts
will
intertwine
by their rhythmic beating
and once again
we will
be
one.

Catching Up To You

It is in the night's darkest hours

That I come to life.

Watching the stars dance 

in and out of eyes reach

Watching the world 

close her eyes 

and fade out.

I imagine that you are here

running the streets with me

as I glide like a ghost

between street lamps

and the black pitch 

of night.

I hold your heart

close to mine

as I lay in the cool grass

-eyes to the sky-

imagining that you

are gazing at the same

universe 

My body shifting comfortably 

as the nighttime lullaby 

rocks me into a light sleep.

Dreaming of your being.

I cannot shake this thought

that we must be connected 

on a subconscious level

and that you see what I see

you feel what I feel

I am 

who you are.

But surely I will never know.

The first ray of sunlight

wakes me.

I gather myself back into the darkness,

and glide back home

as if guided by your soul.

Starlight

guide me

through the darkest

of nights.

Guide me

to my 

heavenly 

home.

Embrace me

as I succumb 

to your grace.
