New Poem

Here is a new poem. Now I know that this is more serious than what you are used to so don't go hitting the abuse button or anything.



Lost Sleep

Darkening ashes sift through fading fingers to find the gleaming jewel.
Only to feel it crumble. Never touched at all.

At visions edge all appears and dances briefly tantalizing, tickling.
I turn, the visions fullness to behold. Darkness wraps around.

Soft perfume of lovers lost wafts by. Touching places long forgotten.
I reach with soft embrace, longing for the rising musk. It fades, I am alone.

Yet in a quiet moment, the fullness of it all comes crashing in. Ashes of the Phoenix are reborn.
The dream full formed recalled anew. Hot tears flow, unchecked unashamed.
