Longing

woman among green willow leaves

Day 32 of 365 of blogging. My poetry goal for this year is to release another collection, this time romance/love centered. This is a poem that I wrote over a year ago that will be in the collection.

I long to manifest in your daydreams
The subtle curvature of your spine
Entangled in the web of my fingers
As you murmur a million promises

I long to sing the echoes of ecstasy
Conducting melodies of aspirations
To the gentle rumblings of aftershocks
While your smile rings triumphant salute

I long to enter apertures of trust
Laying aside the weight of vacillations
Gambling on cards not yet dealt
That your ante draws aces from fissures

I long to ride the waves of reality
Beckoning your presence from memories
Foretold in plots twisting to evolve
In our minds like complementary characters

I long to attain the wisdom of willows
Sheltering the shadows of hope
Still visible in the twinkle of starlight
Long after we explode into constellations
