Like spring in a barren land


 How did you settle in my soul  

So silently, yet so deeply?  

Why is it you of all the world

Who walks my veins without permission,  

Without a sound?


Why does longing bloom for you  

Like spring in a barren land?  

Why does your absence  

Carve wide, aching spaces in my days

Rooms where only your silence lives?


Your face...  

It clings to every sunset,  

Rises with the sun at dawn.  

You are stitched into the light  

And the darkness alike.


Why do you haunt my dreams  

Like a familiar echo on roads  

That lead to nowhere 

Yet feel like home?


You,  

My uninvited guest,  

My constant companion,  

My sweetest ache....
