there is silence left in your temporary absence

a silence that roars in me

without making even a sound

but I hear it all around me

pressing at my walls

banging at my doors

shouting in whispers

murmuring in earthquakes,

a power field that rings only between my cells

my atoms

between the fibers of my skin

a beat of drums around me

heated, vibrated air

all caused by a red string

entangling both of our souls

I am forever missing

the warmth of your body, the feel of your lips

those arms wrapped around me

holding our home,

but I am now reminded

how it is to last without your voice

the look of your eyes

how it is to have only shreds of your presence,

just glimpses of you

I await you back, my dear

I left a light for you

_ _ _ _ _

and though I might sound melodramatic at times

a real poet

a heart on a careless sleeve,

a tidal wave crushing against the countless shores

of emotions and feels

and yet,

every word is true

every feeling

each sigh

every pulsating heartbeat that speaks of you
