Here,
In the deep darkness of dreams,
I sleep,
Safe in the warm womb of your love,
Feeling your hand lying against my skin,
Your breath tickles my neck.
Waking,
Calling your name -
Forgetful for a moment –
Believing losing you is the dream.
Realisation dawns with the early light,
Blackness falls for another day.
Aching,
The emptiness inside me is screaming.
Tears,
Hot and hard, slide burning trails.
Anger bursts unchecked
Upon my rational mind,
Until the warmth and love of dreams
Makes bearable another night.
