I wanted to get away...
I HAD to get away
from everyone and everything.
Now,
I lay here
in the darkness of the night...
alone...
in a strange bed...
in an unfamiliar place...
and listen-
A jet barely clears the tops of the trees
outside my window...
then another...
and another...
their bright lights piercing
into my soul...
their vibrant roars trembling
my mind...
and my stability...
repeatedly making known
that I am not really alone anymore.
Forcefully forgotten feelings and emotions
are alive again...
and are now validating their entrance
into this room...
into my inner being.
They are so alive and vigilant...
as if they never really left me
at all.
I am persuaded to share this bed with you...
I can feel the solidity and strength of my feelings
as they dominate and rule my body...
they are as strong as the first time
I experienced them...
and I realize there is no escape
from you tonight.
Tomorrow,
I might have the determination to sweep
these feelings back where they belong...
But tonight...
I will allow myself the pleasure of,
once again,
letting these feelings absorb all of me.
Listening...
I once again hear the approaching roar.
I glance out the window
and see your face in the clouds...
as you fly over me...
through me...
interrupting my sleep...
interrupting my heart...
interrupting me...
every 50 seconds...
all night long. ©
