On Whose Wings Did You Fly Poem by Leria Hawkins

On Whose Wings Did You Fly?
Date: May 5,2015

Oh how I’ve missed you these many months
Your winds have slipped from my window
Spiraling wayward into a blackened sky
I have ached for your whispers, love
Those hot, sweet intrusions on my midnight dreams

Oh sweet bandit of the night, where have you flown?
My tears, like rivulets on my window
Rain down with the loneliness of your retreat
Your kiss still burns bright on my hungry lips
Your taste…sweet confection, lingers endless on my tongue

Oh how I yearn for your fire…your passion
You…the white hot rage of my deepest desires
You…the embers that burn me to my very core
Searing me, branding me with your flames
You…a tattoo inked forever on my soul

Whose wings have lifted you to a new horizon, dear?
Whose songs have swayed you to another shore?
I waited; forever it seems, to lie in rays of your sunshine
…to frolic in the tides of your reckless seas
Who, my love, has stolen the stars from my skies?

And how did I miss them, my sweet…
The cool whispers that spoke of your fading
My eyes burn wild in the glare of stunned confusion
My heart stings from the barrage of unanswered questions
Why have you turned from the arms that adore you, love?

And why, why, why have you flown so far…
