Dawn breaks uneasily on his soul
An absence leaves him un whole
A stretch to touch a sweeter sense
By a heart filled with prescience

Changes focused swiftly on
Words omitted or sighs gone
Subtleties missed by others not blessed
A lover's mind can never rest

The afternoon after morning bliss
A thought to a touch to a kiss
How does life progress to a goal
With all this thunder in a soul

Evening grows in her eyes
The light once there now belies
Their passion once worn as battle plates
That weighed them down from greater fates

Darkest night pierces brightest light
Hope forgone and so is sight
Such a wrenching sound it makes
As the lover's heart breaks
