I Lie Awake

I lie awake and hear your lonely sigh

Across the miles on breaths of midnight air

While blinking stars incant the question why:

Why am I here and you are over there?

 

I lie awake and see your Cheshire smile

Upon the iridescent wakeful moon

While time is morphed into a melting dial

That tricks and teases like an ancient rune

 

I lie awake and dream your phantom kiss

Between the sliding doors of mystery

While owls call out to serenade our bliss

And prophesise our echoed history

 

I lie awake and watch your phosphor glow

Upon the frothing of nocturnal tide

While slumber tussles from the undertow

And whispers: meet me on the other side
