Expression

By Syn

In broken dreams I waken
In selfish needs I take
In colorless skies I envy
In thoughtless flight I break...

You shine through me -
Brightened my darkness
Stripped you of my pain.

The first moment I felt you,
too soon to know the truth
that later revealed an eternity...
that I want with you...
need with you...

I lost myself in a righteous daydream -
one that held you and I.
Sleeping only torment, but spared
the tears I cried,
Thoughts of you consumed me -
having you, being held by you...
being yours.
...But in these thoughts I lived,
survived.

And at once you were real.
Your taste soaked into my lips,
your scent seeped into my skin,
your touch lingered about -
outside and within.

I was torn on what to say, though
nightmares turned from grey
to the brilliance of your mind.
And in this place I'll find solace...
refuge...
In you I'll always hide.

For only now I can say the
words that torment my tongue...
Only now I can say what
I need without being caught up...

    lovely, emotive write - the opening stanza reads like a lyrical prelude; I love "And at once you were real" - great stuff. :)

    I agree with Storm, I like the way you think.. but even better, I like the way you EXPRESS your thoughts

    The way you think is just extraordinary... surviving in thought of another one. Greatly written.
