As I Lie - A Poem

When I was younger, I thought one day I would be an author.  Later on life happened, but this site gives me an opportunity to share with anyone my writing.  Below is a poem I wrote years ago.  I hope to write more soon.

As I Lie
by Liz Sachnoff

The gentle zephyr whispers
Calling me ever closer. Come
And bide your time with me
For summer's spoils have left one.

In harmony the duo seemed
Inseparable. A reality entwind
Within a gracious melody
Moments etched within the mind.

She caresses me softly
Like a mother's gentle care
Summoning me with a kiss
Taunting my soul as a dare.

For when a union so perfect
Greek deities would desire
Even cupid's arrow couldn't
Have caused such internal fire.

A flame contained in ones soul
Kindling ever more bright
One she dared to extinguish
On that despondent night.

Abruptly our joining halted
His tender touch nevermore.
For Hades, perhaps of jealousy,
Has plunged my very core.

For in my unrest, I lie
The wind carries desperate pleas.
Return to me he cries
Falling on aching knees.
