As the day slides into a dusky
fusion of sunset and moonlight,
my sprawling mind
is flecked with thoughts
of you.
But in the dawning night,
you flood even the
spaces of my synapses,
and thoughts
are no longer my own.
I yearn to rest a while,
gather myself and
find an inner peace,
where a requited love
would rest gently
on an easy soul,
but each platelet
rushing my veins
whispers your name,
hounding my dreams.
You are everywhere,
pulsating through my body,
touching every
moment of me,
and there is nothing
I can do now,
but love you.
