Love poems and other poetry

	I want you to miss me There could be fog Or maybe just a mist And inexplicably I'll fade to white Vanish, and be gone Or it could be night And I'll be darkly dressed, Evading easy definition And as your eye's distracted By a falling leaf I'll merge with restless shadows And be gone Then you will discover What emptiness is A space so hollow Even its own walls are swallowed up A quality of missing So intense A lack, a lack Each hour more bottomless than the last Until your heart cries out, A howl of forfeiture But it will be nothing Ashen silence where I used to sing And deafness The howl must strike the right resonant frequency A wail that echoes all to the ends of time To fill the gaping void in whole, looping wavelengths From the well of your soul, such loneliness To make Siberian wolves hang heads for shame In their convivial packs Then, only then Might you detect my footprints, indistinct Marking the morning dew fall Perhaps glimpse a puff of breath in the cold, dawn air You must utter A howl so desolate, it Jerks you from your sleep To find me warm beside you on your pillow And you will know how Close you were to the brink Of the abyss And know what missing is And hold me.
