The Naked Night

The ache in heart
Felt never so pleased
Embraced in love
Always felt no peace

Searched every night
The arms those were right
Failed every moment
To curb the covetousness of life

Soul crept to the side of bed
Body laid by its side
Hands that slide
Were cold as ice
Warmth that felt
Was a vindictive sigh

Emotions lay bared one more night
Feeling the wound as no surprise

Severed from life
For one more night
To savor the ardor for life

Tattered mind, turned the remorse
As the tears congealed it
Solidified by the fact
Legitimacy of life had
Perished that night

For one more time
The soul left her side
