Demon of fire and other poems of lust, insanity and devotion - 4. Stillness

Preeviously posted in poetry, now moved to where it belongs

Stillness …

The silence of the room

allows me to listen to my breathing,

or is it yours I’m hearing?

You’re in the distance

and by my side there’s stillness,

but I am not alone, or am I?

your warmth spreads over my soul

and makes me tingly,

 

your image fills the void.

I hear your breathing and I am not alone,

but there’s stillness.

I dare to feel your essence

with such intensity

It keeps me safe and warm

It’s late and I am awake …

You’re not by my side, but you are.

I’m not alone.

And in the room there’s stillness.

Of the first five you posted initially, this is probably my favorite. I love how lyrical it reads, and the bifurcation and mystery of is he/is he not there. But ultimately, I feel the message is that he's always with you. Just beautiful
