I wish that I will never return
to that place where night wraps tight
her sheets and tucks me in beneath
a star bright canopy nor watch the milky way
spill across the sky then disappear
when I close my eyes.
What's there beneath the horizon
and beyond? My Love, whisper now
and promise me there is more,
more than darkness over the edge,
more than the centre of the night,
more than cold, dark sleep.
I fear the loneliness that lies close
on the other side. I have been and back
and knew only dreamless sleep;
there is no comfort in this. Wake me
into your morning, so that I may see
the day and know the warmth of you.

Anonymousover 18 years agothe fear and vulnerability are palatable - very moving - Some are meant to stay and share the poetry in their hearts.

Anonymousover 18 years ago..the painful birthing of this poem, it strikes me as near perfect in its final state. Morbid fear wrapped in beautiful, tender words.
