I'm too sleepy ...

*from the dim corner*

fleeting. time is. yet constant
my beating heart. the ebb and flow
though the muse always distant
quick glimpses and shadows

as it always was and will be
i know your soul, know you whole
view you the way no one can see
since six am a decade and all

i am always in the half light.
sunshine; bask in your warmth?
content in the everlasting twilight
in sight yet never in your arms.

draw from me as you will
me, my soul, my all
all i have to deal
sweep me from everything real

drawn to you enchantress
your dark wicked self
i swoon temptress
keep my heart in a shelf

do as you would, i accept
drink me and discard me
render me babbling inept
chain me. ill never want to be free.

i am giving you till ten
so flee little rabbit
run and scamper to your den
when i catch up you will love it

and the fog will eat up your scream
as i tear you limb from limb
blink all you want it is no dream
blood mingles in the stream

trudge trudge trudge.
a hobbled step and another -
nomad yet without grudge.
searching far and farther.

one step beginning a lifetime past
as i rose from slumber, startled
by your voice like a floating mast
this journey started.

still i walk scragged and bedraggled
yet spurred on by the thought of home
till i find you - continued struggle
forever i will roam

if i jump to your arms, will you yield?
or be like a sculpture - cold hard marble
avert your eye, arms like a shield
verbal and body language garble

and i remain. breathless for your command
but will you give? or want me
to take? i have no spirit to ask nor demand
i wait on, with silent aching plea....

in the half light she glows
eyes full and wondrous; like deep pools
mysterious, angelic and she knows
secrets kept from fools -

like me. i stand in awe, trapped
held transfixed. you gleam
like a beacon in the dark, i am enrapt.
and nothing is at it seems.

down is up and left is right
although i stay in place, held
and the sun shines at night
me by your beauty felled.
