symphonies of crickets
thumping in my ears
my heart harmonizing
to the pace of their tune
left to right, right to left
your voice adding lightness like the moon
yet warm like the sun and filling the air;
sharing stories from past lives
to your dreams of possibilities
the night is so dark here,
glimmers of suburban lights twinkling below us
while the sky blends and drapes over
the ridges of the mountains
into the endless, infinite abyss
and just like the mountains tucked away into the sky
i have the feeling;
i want to be covered
i want to be lost in you
now you hang from my lips,
i replay the moments,
i see the shape of your name
catching my breath
because it spells out pain
in our separate worlds, we sleep alone
so i’m pausing the tape
saving it for another rainy day
i have a feeling
it’s my own heart
that will continue to ache
