nothing

nothing
5/7/99
1:45 p.m.


I search for thoughts inside my mind
but every search yields the same:
nothing.
No thoughts of time,
no thoughts of love;
no pain, no anger, no joy:
nothing.
Sitting here in a drunken haze
with nothing on my mind.
Nothing, but the simple thought 
that time and space
can’t keep my thoughts
from thinking of a love-drenched kiss,
thinking of the heartfelt thoughts
not shared nor said, yet understood,
in silence, like a childhood prayer.
Everything becomes so clear;
I need you here within my being.
my thoughts return to places dreamt,
with nothing even close to tying 
all these dreams to one.
nothing, save the fact
that every dream brings me to you.
and the only thing i hold before
these thoughts of us is
nothing.

Reason for writing:

    thinking of a missing soulmate in Sweden...
