Poem: "Mirage"

"Mirage"

"I could rage and you'd bring rain, until you get to me on my morning side." - Sara Barailles

The subtle moon light illuminates
the gentle contours
of your perfect face

I toss and turn
restless
in the same empty bed

As thoughts of you
flicker and dance
in my head

I've waited here
for what has seemed like
an eternity

I have longed for your touch
my lips have ached in anticipation
of your kiss

Will you think ill of me
if I give into your charms
without the least of resistance?

Every time I close my eyes
I can feel you near
your scent lingers in my memory

So take me now
I ask you
away from all this

Fill me up
with your beautiful ocean
and let the seduction
begin

As you walk towards me
with a knowing look
and that same
disarming smile

As you whisper,

"I've been here all along, darling
desperately holding onto you
so the seduction can overtake us."
