A Pretty Poem

by: Ronovan

Closing my eyes I drift away to a place

I hear the breeze blowing and feel it kiss my skin

There is an emptiness around me

My soul burns deep within

 

How long has it been

Since my thoughts were last not of you

I can count them on one finger

But even one is too many to be true

 

I see you in the moon

Late at night as I gaze

I venture into the world

Wandering through the embracing maze

 

I catch the fragrance of your skin

The air carries it across to me

The distance of the land

Is greater than that of an ocean or sea

 

I reach up to the sky

Tracing your cheek among the trees

The aching begins deeply

And I drop down to my knees

 

So far so far the distance

It brings my existence so small

My touch falls to empty

As my body trembles to its fall

This was my attempt to write ‘a pretty poem’. Even it turned into darkness.
