That Restless Feeling

The wind moans all night through, groans so
Love made for hours with surrounding trees
Swaying together far past the point of fatigue
Rain blessed, in torrid, tender union
The rocking, the pounding, keeping me awake
Flickering memories of old amorous stirrings
Noise enough through thin walls then with no complaint
I have been there, in my time, in that same space
Felt it all, I recall, lying fitfully drowsing now
Long hours of restlessness tonight in a cold bed
Fitful dreaming of long passed pieces
Past passions once near to me, dear to me
How awfully aroused in the narrowing twilight din
A morning after no dawn birds singing our bliss
