How long
have I been awake?
How shines the sun
on me
without you?
I had forgotten what
love is.
I feel now,
like I once did,
what it is
to love you
completely.
Our love is not
a light;
shadows remain within
my heart,
but its earth is
devoted to
the soles of
your feet.
I wash in
your scent.
I breathe in
your chest.
I walk now
through dusky hills,
carrying your voice
on my lips.
