Missing You

Missing you
Like a prolonged pause
Trailing off into nothing, air
Aborted coversation

Missing you
Like a yawning crevass
Mid-abdomen, 'tween rib and navel
Yet somehow deep as sea

Missing you
Like a lost limb
Crippling the ability to function
Illogical phantom pain

Missing you
Like a nagging suspicion
Of the important, forgotten
Uneasy unrest

A Thought

What a growing,
spreading,
wriggling,
bouncing,
shiny little
treasure
of a thought.
Twisting
it's way
up from
the pit of
my stomach,
dancing
its way
up my chest
to settle finally
upon my
upturned lips
as a smile
In the
blue of my
lit-up eyes
as a sparkle.

He's coming!
