Empty Bed Poem by Lynn El Amine

Empty bed
Oh So Empty
My nakedness
Screaming for you
Calling your name

I close my eyes
Again you're here
In my illusion
Starring in my fantasy
Creator of my glee

With pleasure
The angel loses its wings
Burns its last feather
Oh won't you please
Make me cheer
Better yet
Make these dirty sheets disappear

A candle lit in this darkness
And though I don't usually do this
I have an impulse
You and the fever
Sweet fever
Spicy you
Skipping a beat on my clock
But I'm still trying to reach
Tick
Tock
I'm trying to reach
Naked being spread
Empty bed

Separated only an hour ago
But I can't help it
I need you so
Need to feel you close
Get a glimpse of your glow…

Now I'm swirling on my bed
Half-Empty Bed
Making love out of nothing at all
I can feel your touch
The sudden rush
Can breathe your air
Your breath

Chills up and down my spine
My
Oh
My
Can see the love bleeding inside out
Can feel the dripping wine

Three nights ago
You gave me a bed time story
Freed my soul

Now I,
The skin that craves your hand,
Am spread, waiting for you
I'm spread
Empty shell
Empty bed

Miserable me
This was all a dream

I replay it over and over again
It's all in my head
This vision's combination
Tempting me
Back into imagination

Cold sheets
Empty bed
I wait for you
To take me under your skin
Here I go again
Me and my desire to sin

Gravity doesn't exist
Physics don’t apply
Sweet bed time story
Spinning in my mind

Empty bed
And your smoke
Cigarette smoke
Is all that I can smell
And I wait for your breath
The lust that I crave to taste
The breeze that's keeping me awake


I stare at your shadow
That lingers in front of me
And I fail to catch
Fail to release
Your fire
Your ashes

I just lay there
Waiting for you
To discover me
Discover my dew

Lick the tears off of my face
Lick me all at once
Fly me into outer space

Salty sweat
Soft moan, I cry a tear
I'm in wonderland
Tangled by
Tangled with
Tangled in
The thought of you…
