Days of longing... (updated 2016-03-30)

[IvanXLIV]

Hello people,

I once again have a little something to share with you. My dear Muse had to take a step back from our community to deal with reality's obligations... It inspired this evolving piece of poetry; I plan on adding a few stanzas every day until she returns...

Days of longing...

Yesterday night we met, one last dance, one last kiss;
I had to be with you, before your long absence,
Had to partake in one last evening of pure bliss
In your arms, basking in your delightful presence,
Urgency overtaking me... I'd be remiss
Not to seize the moment's uplifting quintessence.

    I miss you so much already, mi diosa encantadora;
    My love, I shall count the endless days to come until we meet once more,
    Daydreaming of us together frolicking at La Playuela,
    Making sweet and passionate love under the blazing sun by the shore,
    A gentle ocean breeze caressing our wet, naked bodies heaving...
    Clinging to those intimate images of lust shall ease my waiting.


 *MONDAY*

I awoke to a dark, greyish dawn; 'twas raining,
Heavy clouds smothering all the sun's feeble light.
Grey too, felt my soul, afflicted by creeping blight
Named solitude. I abided long, oft thinking

    Of you, wondering in quiet contemplation
    What you were doing, or if you were sound and well;
    Through the gloom however, a hope: my thoughts did dwell
    On your smile, soothing my heart. Anticipation

 Still lingered, and I oft wandered about the Land
Revisiting our familiar haunts, retracing
our steps, thinking of the good times, imagining
Where we would reunite, wandering hand in hand...

*TUESDAY*

Routine reclaims her demanding rights over me;
Stuck in her muddy ruts, I struggle to escape
Yearning all day long for the enchanted landscape
Where our bond, mi alma gemela, came to be.

To the deepest corner of my soul I repaired,
A secret inner sanctum holding my fondest
Mementos of us; I reread them in earnest
Poring over every word, every thought you shared
 
With me. Closing my eyes, I can feel your presence,
Warm and familiar, embracing me tenderly;
A ghostly afterimage, a sweet melody
Of love breaking through the encompassing silence.

*WEDNESDAY*

The shining sun cuts through the cold, crisp morning air
Yet a cloud remains, blotting out its warmth… today,
Doubts seize me with a dreadful feeling of dismay,
Casting longs shadows of ambivalent despair…
 
Did I scare you away? Was I smothering you,
Blindly trespassing into your secret garden,
Heedlessly imposing on your time unbidden?
I can do naught but observe my long vigil through
 
The restless hours to come, hoping against hope
For our joyful reunion. Meanwhile, my writing
Does keep me occupied, my mind navigating
Around the rocks and shoals of literary trope,
 
Finally progressing over that narrative
Started so long ago… thanks to you, the story
Now sails on renewed inspiration, for you see,
All that remained was to define the attractive
 
Heroine; a cryptic, romantic counterpart
For the main protagonist; I see her clearly
Now, mysterious, alluring sea nymph, scantily
Clothed in pearlescent veils revealing, in part,
 
Her alabaster skin; dark waves of ebony
Locks cascading around her lithe shoulders, her smile
Parting full, luscious ruby lips made to beguile,
Seduce and cajole her lover mercilessly…

She was away for a total of three days (but she never left my thoughts)...
