Night Flights With You

By: Avery Robertson

Face lifted to the sun,
eyes wet from tears;
memories carried across the mind
when you were my- career.

Holy was the act of love,
your breath... my desire.
Body movements, slow & sultry,
a heart catching fyre.

A tempting touch, too deliberate,
sweetness wrapped in passion;
destruction closely, near to me,
vibrant in its actions.

Flowing grace of my heart,
vanishes into rage;
dreaming dark, like the night,
trapped within this cage.

Lover of the man,
daughter to his sorrow;
yesterday wasted now,
in wishing for tomorrow.

So, I go blindly forth,
into worlds I never touch;
looking for freedom's dream,
but needing you so much.

Tripping through a verbal landscape,
trying to follow, somehow;
listening to the sounds of him,
so soothing to me now.

My blood slows down,
my ears can hear,
the wild winds whispering;
"Forever hold me near".

These are but brief moments now,
our dancing phantom nights,
but those moments are enough
for my soul to soar within your flight...
