The Missing
by Christy
Morning kisses wrapped
in I love you’s
Afternoon phone calls
shaded with promises of lust
Evening winks, waiting
for children to sleep
Starry nights colored
with untamed passion, nourishing minds and
opening hearts.
Gone are the days of
bonded contentment
Dreaming of gray hair
and grandchildren
Alone now, my journey
is a silent search
Renaming myself.
The mirror reflection
is unknown to me
Overnight metamorphosis
from wife to one
Words of comfort are
meaningless
Unmanageable emotions
attack my soul.
As I lay in cold sheets
with empty arms, my vision blurred, I dream…
Upon waking I am warm
in spirit
Open eyes reveal a
loving partner greeting my naked breast
Echoing emotions of a
milky commitment desired by both
Deliciousness revolves
around day and night
Breathless mornings
creating gentle pet names
Endless nights living
on the moon.
Peace invades our home
Never wanting, never
needing
Love and support
abundant afterthoughts
Someone, to fill the
openness that birth has left inside of me..
I dream…
The sun rises again
with vulnerability and the memory of lonely
mistakes
Past sketched in my
heart forever
Present filled with the
missing, bearable only by dreams
Future caresses
thoughts woven by fantasy and reality
Missing only, you?
