The sunset hour darkens my door, <br />I watch for shadows on the floor, <br />There he stands in luminous air, <br />The answer to my daily prayer <br /> <br />With closed eyes I can see his form, <br />The cold night air turns oh, so warm, <br />I taste his kiss scorching the air, <br />I raise my hand to touch his hair <br /> <br />Just particles and flecks of dust, <br />I despair and turn in disgust, <br />He pulls me back and holds me tight, <br />My spirit love, my errant knight <br /> <br />Sensuous feelings are unending, <br />I'm tormented with pretending, <br />When from reality I flee, <br />It's then his spirit comes to me <br /> <br />And I love him.... how I love him, <br />Here come the tears, my eyes grow dim, <br />I can feel my body aching, <br />I'm alone... my heart is breaking <br /> <br />I know the rules, I've played this part, <br />Weariness overtakes my heart, <br />A foolish dream, a wish in vain, <br />Companion from another plane <br /> <br />Face of moonlight, kiss of dreams, <br />Love's longing taken to extremes, <br />Existing in some realm above, <br />He's all I have..... my spirit love<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/companion-23/
