Like a bird into deep sky- Love Sonnet

Like a bird into deep sky

Can you hear my voice sailing through the waters,
Can you feel the tremble of my heart as love falters?
The moon grows bright and the evening grows dark,
Paths twisting asunder leave no place to start.
Like a bird into deep sky, I fall to the unknown,
Bare to brace the emptiness our silence has shown.
Further apart the tides that strive to land ashore.
Every mystery of fate aspires to remain weaving unseen.
Every drawn breath reveals a yarn of the listless dream.
Still are the winds that break forward your star.
Still is the moment that is lost somewhere afar.
Can you hear my voice sailing through the waters,
Can you feel the tremble of my heart as love falters?

My poetry is published only here.I ask that if you choose to share my poetry on the Internet you always link back to this page, and only do so for personal use.

I have felt this way before, and have heard it expressed a few times this year by friends. The weight full burden of hesitant love, of held love, of fearful love, of one way love; it is sad, gracious, and deep. I tried to convey my belief that communication is the key.

As often happens, as the poem starts to unfold, I start to hear a melody in my head and it started to morph into a song. I can hear it when I read it, someday I will have to figure out how to write it out.
