Hinterlonging
Standing in sun-dusted fields of lavender
Soul scorched by umbilical tears
Wind-thrown hair whipping primal salt
To bring the wounds again
Heart beats convict’s rhythm
Locking you within me
Spectre’s twin of my own self
Tangle-twisting our entities
Absorbing a wonder I long to witness
From by your side
I glimpse a shadow of us walking together
In the distant hinterland
Transcendent beauty perpetually provokes
This bittersweet ghost
Your eyes rooting me to this Earth
And everything beyond
So far from home, yet there she is still
Unwanted heart tracing your beat
Emotion’s futile friction
Drags scalding heat through my veins
Gratitude for finding you wages war
With bitterness for losing you
In these ripe fields with eternal tears
And transformative light

Beautiful as ever – pain is felt through your words but hope and the possibility of renewal is present too.
