Description
A muted night,
the scent of April rain
still caught in the air.

Light shimmers between
twisted silhouettes
who reach,
longing to brush
the pale cheek of the moon,
her face half-turned in the dusk.

A chill rushes up
wrapping me in your embrace
But a moment
and you're gone
again.

Not to say your touch
holds the coolness of the breeze.
Rather my heart's response
the same
whether pressing air or flesh

Heart quickening
Breath jolted
Thoughts scattering

All I am
waits
for you.

My phantom lover.

Early buds sway to your rhythm.
The moon turns toward the rustling grass,
joining in my search

But the leaves halt
the rain rests
gathered in the clouds,
who pause
listening

Soundless,
the night lies still once more

And to the only motion
left in the void above,
fire releasing all its self to gravity,

I whisper your name
and loose my wish to the falling flame

my phantom lover.
