To H.L.

As the wind
- Now -
You are gone,
With hardly a brush
On my cheek,
With hardly a touch.

The life of you
Runs in my vains.
Your breath is in me.
Yet, I never knew
Your voice.

What do we have
Now?
Not even broken promises.
How?
Between us
There weren't even words.

Lady in Waiting

In the absence of you

Time is eternal.

In the wait of your kiss
The sun stands still,

My soul is silent
And my mind screams.

Doubt? Sheer Certainty

Can I be?
Can I?
Is it right?

The problem is
- In me -
I have no more fight,
No more will.

I have long ago
Given in to
- The overwhelming power of -
Us.

Can,
Will,
Am.

This heart that beats,
This soul that feels,
This mind that thinks
- So often too often -

All this before you,
And a quarter more,
- Ask -
It's already yours.
