Peaceful

By: Ashley Roxanne McLeod

I can feel the desire,
For love.
Forming in me,
Only in the midnight hour
During the day I am fine,
I just breathe in,
Breathe out.
Happy,
To be me.
Oh but during the night,
I feel the longing..
Returning
To me
The need for another
To hold, and kiss
Softly on,
The brow,
Oh hold me now
While the world sleeps,
And the candle flickers
Warm me while I lay,
Peaceful.
