Arms Of Solace 08 Poem by Kira Bloom

I wander the empty dark of sleep
Shying from the brightness of dreams
It seems they only leave wanting
A yen I cannot sate
A face
I cannot name
So many secrets behind my eyes
Why this
Why now
There is no place to hide
In the reverence of silence
And the plane of solitude
I watch above and below
The chaos of then of now
Unable to deny the call
His arms clamp around my shoulders
Holding me to his heat
Pulling me to his voice
Vision a memory
Now empathy binds me to a will
I do not recognize
A heart so long lost
How dare he return to me
In the vulnerability of sleep
When I cannot sense right from wrong
When I cannot measure the cost
Safe and brilliant I am trapped in his arms
The love I lost
The soul I called
It has been to long since he let me fall
There can be no logic in this
There can be no happy ending
No matter how I feel
I know I don’t belong
I must pull myself from the solace of his arms
