like the petal of a rose hungry
for the sun's energy
and the mist that sustains
the very food of life
I am...only sated
by your touch and love
by your spirit and soul
perpetually intertwined
in my heart, in my mind
even as
you are gone
somewhere in the horizon
of nothingness
but here within me,
every second, our memory
sustains my will to live
just like the petal
which hungers in the night
but when the new dawn breaks
and the sun rises
with you in my heart
am forever energized
waiting...
