The Wind Who Came and Stole My Life Away

There once was a man, fair of face
Heavenly visions of possibility danced
Emanating from his tender trance
Whispers of happiness licked my fingers

Imperceptibly stoking the longing          
Need for companionship in vast emptiness
Deciding my fate before I had the chance.
While behind kind eyes

Heavy doubts swept in
Overshadowing the possibility of love
Calm in the eye of disaster
A warning signal not heeded

My duplicitous heart, to my surprise,
Eviscerated by apathy,
Another careless word,
Never once looked back

Desire overwhelming
Sensation like no other,
To my dismay the
Object of my affections

Lover of my soul
Effervescent in my grasp
My hope whimpered
Yearning for more

Like the wind, he blew away
Incandescent and, then, gone
Flames breath on my neck
Extinguished and tragic

And to know it was merely a chance
Way beyond probability
A dream that has kept me awake for
Years and years and yet.
