Midnight Hour
midnight hour...
this sky is as full
as my mind
as i sit here
trying to connect stars
like thoughts
i can almost hear you
in the whisper of winds
filling the voids of loneliness
in temporary stifled breaths
as they rise and fall
around me
i can almost see you
breaking through shadows
as they dance
on walls
beneath the iridescence
of this moon
peering in at me
through this window
as if staring into my soul
through passageways of time
to close my eyes
would make you mine
even if only
momentarily
i long to feel your lips
brush against mine
in a blush of passion
feel your hands
caress the edges
of my existence
draw your scent
into my final breaths
before drifting to sleep
yet i sit here
watching time
beat faster
than my own heart
as the midnight hour
slowly wanes
with loneliness
knowing either way
..."I am the master
of my fate"
