Company

Days mostly spent

without thy presence felt

Nights lost to slumber

without thee by my side

An occasional glimpse

a waylaid breeze as if

Out of place at times

sliver of moon shining bright

when horizons aflame yet

with sunlight

How do I miss thee

a void hard to unfeel

Your presence fleeting

between my heartbeats

Your shadow slanted

under my breath

Not a lover or spouse

just my confused...

...conscience
