Writing in the Dark
Writing in the dark
fingers wrapped around a thought
writing in the dark
partner sleeping sensing naught
Straining in the dark
to phrase a wish into a line
that in the cold clear light of day
may turn his eyes to look in mine
Writing in the dark
my pen unnoticed has no ink
my wish like aspirin disappears
dissolved again, gone in a blink
Writing my dream, writing on air
as partner sleeps on unaware
