seasons

the sky fades,
leaves fall.
the air changes.
a cool breeze caresses my face,
much like your finger tips.
my lips seek yours,
you are not here.
the darkness consumes me.
its feels like years.
we are older,
none the wiser.
the winter will find us again.
lost in the shadows.
beneath the covers,
seeking warmth.
awaiting another spring,
to be reborn.
new love from an old seed,
slow growth.
one day to shine bright like the stars,
on clear nights.
rising to summer days.
beside me.
hope.

Oh Claude,
The ache.
The longing ache.
Consuming.
A love not returned.
You're a ghost that lingers.
Ripping into my flesh,
Through bone.
My heart.
The shape of your face,
It does that.
Your eyes see through me.
Invisible.
The sun sets.
We shared these water coloured skies,
Once.
Oh Claude.
