A Comrade

You lie amidst stars
Sheathed in murky darkness
Clothed in a white garb,
With sporadic blotches
You sink into the sea
Ensconce within trees
Levitate above peaks
Hover alongside owls
I lie down
Under the star-spangled awning
Gazing at you, Ogling at you
Hearkening to you, Feeling you
You focus on me, smile at me
Coo sweet-nothings into my ear
Your beam pecks my cheek
Your warmth pervades into my spirit
I get to my feet, to move
You do not leave me alone
I saunter, you saunter too
I twirl, you twirl too
I believe you, to be my faithful companion
I trust you with my entire heart
I bid you good night and step into my reverie


I dream of 'us' , prancing in the meadows
I dream of us, floating in the blue blue sky
I dream of us, pirouetting, with the trees
To the tunes of the wind
The cock crows, the birds chirp
I wake up from the trance
There is brightness all around me
There is daylight, there is sunshine
There is luminescence, but there is no you
I search for you, I pine for you
I rummage among the sea, trees, birds and the mountains
I can hear you say "I am right here"
I can feel your warmth, regardless of the heat
I cannot see you
I am still searching for you
I am craving for your presence

I'd love to say something equally profound, but your verses always have a way of shutting me up. :-)

It may seem strange, but I saw the sun that exists in a night sky, rather than the moon, as the focal point of your poem.
