Being One ( Archived) (13)

Beautiful bajan......

I hope you don't mind if I leave one of mine that seems to fit here? Mine also don't ryhme. They never seem to make sense to me if they do?

~Time~

Tick, tick, tick the clock says
mocking me, with its laughing face
dragging each tick out like it is an eternity
in the mid afternoon of the warm day

I sit alone, just my keyboard
no calls from those who care
and with each tick, tick of the mocking clock
no call from you, the call I ache for

I start to feel the pain leeching its way into me
and I know that the night will soon come
cloaking me in its velvet darkness
letting the ache spread while no-one can see

Each minute seems like an eternity
but I want to hold back the approaching night
Those hours of darkness and the moon
that strangely comfort, but destroy my soul

Those minutes last forever dragging their feet
prolonging each moment of grief and pain
raking my soul with their sharp claws
and my thoughts fill with holding you close

Oh! How I miss that closeness, togetherness
skin on skin, entwined like snakes
emotions rushing and enveloping us
until we two become one for a few moments

Falling asleep in your arms, your breath on my cheek
feelings of safe, strong and shelter in their strength
I sleep a dreamless sleep, no longer demon nightmares
invade my thoughts until I wake screaming

So the nightfall brings its dread with it
like a box from pandora's shop
and I glare at my empty bed, knowing that when I crawl in
the nightmares will come to wake me again

The haven of you is not there, your arms are empty
as is my heart and soul without you
so the demons will devour my dreams again
my screaming will resume to haunt my sleep

And I will awaken to begin another day
tick, tick, tick, the clock says
mocking me, with its laughing face
dragging each tick out like it is an eternity......
