"Possession"
The light fades slowly
patches of sun still peek through
the open window
she looks out
up at the sky
as the clouds approach
and gentle night settles in
she longs for him
his face forever imprinted
in her mind
she reaches for his picture
on the nightstand
clutching it
close to her heart
the bed is cold and empty
without his warmth
and easy laugh
she turns away
as the loneliness creeps in
and threatens to overtake
her precious heart
somewhere
he walks in silently
into the same space
he's occupied for years
with the single bed
and cramped desk
with electric typewriter
he wishes that she knew
the desires of his heart
and what lies deep
within his soul
the phone rings
she is on the other line
he smiles to himself
and so the dance begins anew.
