The Poetry of Michael Langston


(68) MY WISH TONIGHT

I wish so much...
That you were here with me tonight,
Actually here in my house,
With me at this moment.

I wish I could get up from this chair
And walk into the bedroom
And find you there in my bed...
With your outstretched arms
Inviting me to join you.

I wish I could feel...
The warmth from your body
On my sheets and my pillow
Instead of the coldness that awaits me
Under those sad, empty covers.

I wish I could melt into your warm arms
And merge and become one with you,
Knowing at last...
That I've found the lost other half of me.
