Wounded by love.

by brin macnamara   Oct 12, 2004


In your early morning greeting your coldness burns me,
frostbitten by your aura I recoil from your stone cold heart.
Conversation is severe, monosyllabic, words thrust at me wounding like spears.

But then you you smile...
Once again I believe in us...
In our bodies joined together in existential love...
Our hearts locked in perpetual unison
Imagining your warmth I embrace you in my arms. Hearts as one entity, one soul, we survey the universe.

But the actuality our our love has to be faced...
For we are oceans apart Sarah in so many diverse ways my darling.
That I feel that I am slowly becoming insane.
I no longer recognize your heart,
Your countenance is superficial and impenetrable.

I am a soul waning
A heart weakening
In a passionless dank world,
where only you can rescue me and restore me with your kisses.
But now again you avoid my gaze!
Yet still I want to tell you of my love. That before time began our destiny was to be as one.

Our universe my sweetness is my fantasy.
It lives only in my dreams.
There I bury my heart and submerge my soul
My love breaks my heart, burns my soul and daily ages me.

You have gone afar
Only showing yourself in the half light of sleep.
Passing through, haunting the shadows of every dream
But never to rise and embrace me in dawns morning light.
