Needing Life

As I go through my WIP folder, I discover poems that were completed long ago. These poems, if deemed ok in my opinion, will be posted here. For the ones I deem not acceptable, they will never see the light of day. As always, I hope you enjoy my poetry. If you do, please subscribe to get the latest updates. If you don't, so be it.

It used to be easy

to believe, to trust,

to dance with sunbeams

as they radiated enthusiasm

through the window

to my soul.

But somewhere

on this forked road,

light stopped penetrating,

casting shadows which bled

into darkness.

I am overcome

by a mist, a cold embrace

drawing me down

to its passionless depths.

I am cold and shivering.

I feel naked and alone.

I am scared.

I need your heat,

your love, your caress.

I need life.
