The Extra Mile (written 09/21/06)

©

Motivated by a compulsion, I take him in so I can breathe. The MoonLight, through the rings aglow, fills me with fire in this late hour. Rampant thoughts pour into me as they drip through my fingers, pushing that extra mile, contemplating style through smiles, gradually fading into Night.
**********
She watches, she listens
gathering life through strength
Pushing limits beyond reason
Dreaming of images
Solitary, though shared

*********
"Oh, fill me with your love," she whispers
Her internal conversation
taking her hand, lifting her above
the physical, excruciating absence
of his warmth
*********
She softly speaks his name
Loving for the sake of love, she writes
through cascading moonlight smiles
Her heart lit afire from the reflecting glow
She must indulge this one last time
or else she will not be able to feel
the joy of being alive within her thoughts
Cascading down, raining Light in the Night
Noble, gentle face, you summon her awake--
more awake than ever before
***********
Grasping at everything
she holds on
with resolve
As she thinks of him
she knows
that everything she needs is here
succumbing to the faithful glow
in the moon and Starlight
meshed with Night
*********
Smiling through the murky glow
of Moonlight through the rings
The hazy sky through Starlight knows
The Night, to her, he sings
