Longing is an ache,
walking a lonely path,
covered with fallen leaves.
Longing is steel,
shackled to my feet,
painting red the shadows of eves.
Longing is a faded fragrance,
riding the autumn wind,
on wings of a tired butterfly.
Longing is a poison,
a floating black swan,
singing softly, a sad lullaby.
Longing is a darkness,
lurking behind shadows,
tainting the brightness of each day.
Longing is a fear,
of the known and the unknown,
apprehension of doom, black and grey.
