Daffodils

Light subsides into the darkness of your absence
In a pretense of smiles
I hunger for your love
Swimming through fields of emptiness
My dreams cry out your name

The end of my reach
your forbidden sunrise

Flesh burns with desire.

Leap from my fingertips
into a sanctuary of denial
Drifting away
bloom freely

I'll collect the petals
in my daffodil dusk.
