Love Poem: Alone In the Dark

Alone In the Dark

Gentle whispers ...
in the ebony night...
reaching for the warm
touch of you.
feeling the hardness
 of your chest
surrounded by your scent ...
Mmm
I find cool night air
grasping my fingertips 
kissing my lips.
You are but a memory
chasing through my mind.
Hot tears sting my eyes 
as I walk through the garden
of our love...
memories all I have left...
each taunting me as they dance 
round and round 
in the darkness.
as sobs steal from my breast.
I walk alone this night
want... 
need... 
my companions...
Alone in the dark...
