More Than A One Night Stand Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

Oh what a sad sorrowful
Slow rhythm
Yet so sweet
'Neath your breast
Identical in time
With my pulse
For only you alone
Could know me this way

Slowly rolling over
To the newly created
Vacancy
Right next to me
You manage to break
The circle
And leave me
Less than whole

Agitated i open
My eyes
Temporarily
Only to be blinded by
The total nakedness
Of the morning
Blended into the
Pure light of midday

Back asleep i fall
In your scent
I search for you in
My dreams
Where the colour
Spectrum parts
The sky
And heaven
Meets with Earth

You have this
Unspoken beauty
Now breaking in
My empty heart
Images that now
I cannot fathom
Much less reconcile
Myself to your loss
