Working on those night moves

I thought that since I seem to be so fond of placing other people's poety here that I might as well put some of mine here too. So here's some.

and so I think of you


on wind swept days, with deepening clouds
top shattered mounts, vibrant with summer
as lowing light’s red crimson hue
burst fully into violet’s birth
yet besting not deep indigo’s
last death throws of the day to night

and so I think of you

heart moving swiftly to entreat,
a torment deep, with laughing bitter
from this lost and aching spirit
such truth of colors of the night,
felt tersely through love’s salted tears
while mists of hues enchant the soul
with bargained hopes that never come
veiled in sorrow where no one sees
until sleep’s dark encompass me

relentless days pass into night
while morning’s birth brings no glad marrow
and still I wait, heart in my hand
hope like a meter keeping beat
and for a day fate’s promised not
when once again sweet tender bowing
I touch the truth and kiss your brow

and so I think of you
