After the rain

After The Rain

As the sun emerges
from the refuge of the clouds.
Warmth creeps in
to dispel the rainy day.
Life starts t glow again,
yet you are not here.

My insides stir...

I try to traipse on the grass,
to feel mud under my feet.
to bathe in dampness and filth.
to ground my spirit.
to halt my search for you
to satiate my insides that churns madly.

I still yearn for you...

Sunlight glistens on a
puddle of water.
Full of muck, rippling waves.
I scoop water out of the puddle
with my hand, hoping to catch
a glint of light that shines.

Like the light I try to catch, I still don't have you.
