Kim V. Poetry

The moon is rising
And it is beautiful.
Selene’s light shines
And illuminates
The darkened depths of
My psyche.

Casting His light
Upon the echo
Of your face.

My mind is
Fixed on you.
On a dream,
On a memory
Of a past we’ve shared,
Many lifetimes ago.

Your soft timbre,
Struck a cord
And unlocked a piece
Of my life force,
That I had long since forgotten.
Bringing back musicality
To my weary soul.

Your cherished words;
Words more beautiful than
Apollo, himself,
Warm the very fires of my body
And breathe life back into
My paralyzed heart.

Your unchanging love,
Releases all of my
Worries,
My pain,
My strife.
My past,
That I could not let go,
For you are my safe place.

Tears fall
At the memory of you
And I feel my soul burning.
Eagerly waiting.

Waiting to be blessed.
Blessed by your kiss.
Once more.

I remember the eons ago
When a brush of your lips
Against mine,
Could illicit the greatest
Pleasure,
And the greatest pain.

So I sit under Her glow.
Remembering the love
That was made
And the little secrets,
That were shared.
I could cry from the memory of it.

And how your delicate
Fingers could
Lessen the sting of
My broken heart.

I sit under the moon’s
Glorious light and wait.

I sit and feel
Her glorious warmth
And hold steadfast until you are
Near.

I bide my time
Till you are here again.

But time ticks by way too slowly.
